Focus does not pass nothingprivate.ml

[pocmo]

http://www.nothingprivate.ml/ is a demo showing how a user is tracked even when private browsing is used. It seems to know who I am even after erasing my browsing session history. I guess it's using some fingerprinting mechanisms that we can't protect against as long as we are using WebView. But it would be interesting to know what exactly it's using (that affects Focus).

This seems to work in all other browsers too.

The website is using ClientJS for fingerprinting:

Yes, it uses ClientJS fingerprinting. Please check this section for more info: https://clientjs.org/#Fingerprints

The https://www.nothingprivate.ml/ demo works now on the latest RC 92.1.1 Focus build, using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Android 9).

@lobontiumira "works" meaning it is still identifying you? Or does it not remember your name across session?

[lobontiumira]

@pocmo it remembers my name.

Okay, then I'll reopen this issue.

Oh, sorry, I misread the issue. Thank you for reopening it!
