Show HN: Explore what the browser exposes about you

I built a tool that reveals the data your browser exposes automatically every time you visit a website.

GitHub: https://github.com/neberej/exposedbydefault

Demo: https://neberej.github.io/exposedbydefault/

Note: No data is sent anywhere. Everything runs in your browser.

Hi HN,

I’ve been experimenting with ways to reduce my browser fingerprint and exploring techniques to anonymize fingerprint data.

So I built this.

This is kind of like a lighter, more thorough version of CreepJS but entirely client side. I don’t maintain massive lists of time zones or do server-side comparisons to calculate uniqueness. Instead, it automatically surfaces everything a browser exposes, explaining each item in detail.

I get a new fingerprint id everytime I refresh the page (firefox, linux) -- so that might be sampling a tiny bit too much. audio and canvas fingerprint are constant though so it's probably plenty enough...

EFF has a similar tool: https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

No idea how representative either tool is.
