-<p>Privacy Browser allows you to change the user agent. There are several preset options that match common browsers and operating systems.
- Privacy Browser also has its own user agent, which is simply PrivacyBrowser/1.0. For tracking purposes, anything that is rare is easier
- to track. If Privacy Browser becomes common and many people use PrivacyBrowser/1.0 as their user agent, it will be a good choice for privacy.
- For now, choosing something that has lots of hits on a web server, like <strong>Edge 13 on Windows 10</strong>, allows the device to
- blend in with the crowd. Firefox or Chrome provide less privacy because they auto-update and their version numbers change so quickly
- that it is likely the user agents included in Privacy Browser will often be out of step with the majority of user agents in the
- server logs.</p>
+ <p>There is enough information in the user agent that sometimes only a few visitors to a website will be the same.
+ If the user agent is combined with another piece of non-unique identifying information, often it results in a unique fingerprint.
+ The Electronic Frontier Foundation created a tool called <a href="https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/">Cover Your Tracks</a> to demonstrate how much information can be gleaned from these sources.
+ If this test is run with JavaScript enabled the amount of information that is disclosed increases greatly.
