In the world of the internet, every click, search, and visit we have the potential to be tracked. The website uses technologies such as IP addresses, cookies, and browser fingerprints to accurately record and analyze users' online behavior. Not only does this threaten the privacy of users, but it can also pose potential cybersecurity risks. However, with the development of technology, the advent of fingerprint browsers has provided a new security solution for individuals and businesses. In this article, we'll explain how these tracking technologies work and how you can use the fingerprint browser to effectively secure your information and manage multiple accounts for a more efficient and secure online experience.
To truly understand the advantages of fingerprint browsers and their importance in information security, we need to start with the basics. When you open a browser to visit a website, how does the website determine who you are? Or rather, how does the website track your information? In general, websites use IP addresses and cookies, which are the "traditional weapons" of websites to track users, and can help websites locate users, record browsing behavior, preferences, and much more. Once we have mastered these basics, we will be able to gain a deeper understanding of how browser fingerprinting works and how fingerprint browsers can provide a higher level of privacy protection by emulating and disguising these features.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a numerical label used on the Internet to uniquely identify computers, servers, and other network devices. It is the basis on which each networked device communicates with other devices, similar to a mailing address, and uniquely points to a specific device or node on a global scale. IP addresses are not limited to simple device identification, but are also involved in packet routing, network management, and security.
IP addresses are mainly divided into ** intranet IP (private IP) according to the scope of use and allocation methodandThere are two types of public IPs.
1. Private IP (Private IP)
A private IP address is an address that is specifically used for communication between devices within a LAN. These addresses are not routable on the Internet, that is, they are only valid within the local network. When your computer or mobile phone is connected to the WIFI at home, the wireless router assigns an IP address in the LAN to the computer or mobile phone, which is an intranet IP that can only communicate within the LAN.
Intranet IP allows multiple devices to share a public IP address through NAT (Network Address Translation) technology. Intranet IPs are completely safe for users as they are not directly exposed in the internet.
2. Public IP
An Internet IP address is an address assigned by an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to each device or router that connects to the Internet. The public IP is unique in the world, and any device can communicate with other devices on a global scale through it. When your computer or mobile phone wants to access the Internet, it will first communicate with the wireless router through the internal IP address, and then indirectly communicate with the Internet through the external IP of the wireless router.
Since the public IP address is directly linked to the Internet, any data exchange related to that IP address takes place over the public network. Therefore, the extranet IP has the role of identifying and locating devices in the Internet.
IP Geolocation is a technique that infers on a user's physical location by analyzing their IP address. Although IP addresses themselves do not directly carry location information, by comparing them to a global database of IP addresses, websites and services are able to accurately estimate the user's country, city, or even more precise geographic location.
The core principle of IP address geolocation is that each IP address segment (i.e., a range of IP addresses) is typically assigned by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in a particular region. ISPs assign and manage IP addresses based on their network infrastructure and connections to specific areas. Since ISPs in different regions use different pools of IP addresses, each IP address usually has a fixed geographic area around the world.
Therefore, by combining the user's IP address with the already constructedIP Address - Geolocation Database(Also known as.)IP Geolocation Database), the website or application is able to determine the physical location to which the IP address belongs. These databases record the mapping of a large number of IP addresses to the corresponding geolocation information. Common IP geolocation database providers include MaxMind (GeoIP), IP2Location, DB-IP, etc.
When a user visits a website, the web server receives the user's IP address. The site is then geotargeted in a few steps:
Cookie("Cookies" in Chinese) are small pieces of data that are sent to the user's browser by the website server and stored in the user's computer or mobile device. When a user accesses a website with a browser, the website generates a unique identifier for the user and stores this identifier in the browser's cookie; When the user visits the website again, the website reads this unique identifier from the browser's cookie and knows who is visiting the website, so that the website can always target a user.
Technically, a cookie is a text file that contains information about the website and the user, and is automatically sent back to the server when the user visits the website. The use of cookies has become an integral part of the modern Internet, and almost all websites use it to record user behavior, preferences, or authentication information.
Session managementIt is one of the most basic applications of cookies. Most websites use cookies to:Store the user's authentication informationto avoid users needing to log in again every time they visit. Specifically, when a user successfully logs in to a website, the server generates oneSession Cookiesto store it in the user's browser. This cookie contains a unique identifier that identifies the user's session state.
Each time the user sends a request during subsequent browsing, the browser automatically sends that session cookie to the server along with the request. By checking this cookie, the server can recognize whether the user is logged in or not and maintain the user's session state. As a result, users don't need to authenticate every time they visit a website.
Cookies canRemember the user's preferences, such as language selection, font size, theme color, etc. For example, when a user selects Chinese as the interface language or selects night mode on an e-commerce website, the website stores these preferences in a cookie. The next time the user visits, the website automatically loads the language and interface settings previously selected by the user based on the stored cookie values, without having to manually set them again.
Cookies are carried outUser behavior trackingandData CollectionOne of the core tools. Many websites and platforms use cookies to analyze users' browsing behavior, including pages visited, time spent, ads clicked, goods purchased, etc. Through this data, the website is able to understand the interests, needs, and behavior patterns of users.
Nowadays, it is common for users to visit the same website on multiple devices (e.g., phone, tablet, computer, etc.). This is made possible by the use of cookiesCross-device tracking, i.e., identifying the behavior and preferences of the same user on different devices and synchronizing this data. Therefore, changing devices does not prevent websites from tracking the same user through cookies.
IP addresses cannot be forged, but local IP addresses can be hidden through IP proxy services such as Socks5, HTTP, and other technologies. When using an IP proxy service to access a website, the website can only obtain the user's proxy IP address but cannot know your local IP address, and therefore cannot know your geographical location (it should be pointed out that the website can bypass the proxy IP address through WebRTC and other mechanisms to obtain the real IP address).
In the case of cookie data, the cookie data left by the website can be cleared by clearing the browser cache, and the website will not be able to know who the user is when there is no cookie data on the browser. In the case of Google Chrome, you can clear cookies by following the steps below:
1. Open Google Chrome and click the button in the upper right corner to enter the settings interface:
2. Click "Privacy & Security" in the settings interface, find "Delete Browsing Data" and click:
3. You can select the data type and time range you want to delete here, and click "Erase Data" after selecting:
4. You can click on the "Advanced" option to delete more types of data, and click on "Delete Data" after selecting it:
A browser fingerprint is a unique identifier based on a user's browser and device information that is used to identify and track a user. Unlike IP addresses or cookies, browser fingerprints do not rely on explicit information provided by the user, but rather create a "digital fingerprint" by automatically collecting multiple technical details and configurations of the user's device. This fingerprint is usually unique enough to track a specific user without direct user intervention.
The core principle of browser fingerprinting is to take advantage of some of the device and browserHardware information、Software InformationandBrowser configuration, such as screen resolution, OS version, plug-ins, fonts, language settings, etc., the combination of these data can often uniquely identify a user. Since this information is provided automatically by the browser, no additional input is required from the user and it is difficult to block or delete by ordinary means.
Browser fingerprinting is made up of a variety of factors, but here are some of the most common sources of fingerprint information:
1. Browser type and version
Different browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc., have different User-Agent strings. This string contains the name and version number of the browser, and even information about the operating system. By analyzing this information, the website can determine which browser the user is using.
2. Operating system information
Browser fingerprinting also records the type of user's operating system (e.g., Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and its version. This information can help the website distinguish between different device types.
3. Screen resolution and display characteristics
Browser fingerprinting collects display-related data such as screen resolution, color depth, DPI (dots per inch), etc., which varies from device to device, and can provide additional authentication when browsing different websites.
4. Plugins and fonts
Plug-ins (e.g., Flash, Java, PDF readers, etc.) and fonts installed by browsers will vary depending on the browser and operating system. Websites may use this information to distinguish users' devices. In particular, by analyzing the fonts installed in the browser, the website is able to identify which fonts are unique in the user's system.
5. Language settings
Browser language setting refers to the browser interface language set by the user. By analyzing this information, the website can not only understand the user's language preference, but also further determine the user's region and possible cultural background.
6.Canvas fingerprint
Canvas fingerprinting leverages HTML5
7. WebGL fingerprint
WebGL (Web Graphics Library) allows browsers to render 3D graphics directly in web pages. Each device's GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is different, so the subtle differences that occur on the graphics rendered by WebGL can also be used to create a unique fingerprint.
8. HTTP header information
In addition to the various information provided by the browser itself, the browser will also append some HTTP header information to each request, including Accept-Language (the language supported by the browser), Accept-Encoding (acceptable encoding format), etc., which can also be used to identify and track the user.
website passedJavaScript scriptsto automatically collect browser fingerprint data. Typically, these scripts are executed when a user visits a website, extracting the various information mentioned above and sending it back to the server. During this process, the user is barely aware that they are providing this information. Here are a few main steps in how a website obtains this data:
1.JavaScript detection
When a user visits a website, the web page automatically executes the embedded JavaScript code. This code accesses the browser's various APIs (e.g., navigator, screen, document, etc.) to obtain configuration information for the device and browser.
2.Canvas and WebGL fingerprints
With HTML5 and WebGL, websites are able to draw images and extract specific graphic data. These techniques can be used to create a unique graphic fingerprint, as the way the image is rendered will vary depending on the device's hardware. Websites generate image data by calling specific Canvas APIs and WebGL APIs and build fingerprints based on that data.
3.Fingerprint accumulation for multiple visits
The collection of browser fingerprints does not only occur in a single visit, websites often accumulate more fingerprint data through multiple visits. Websites can collect browser profiles, plug-ins, fonts and other information in multiple different sessions, and gradually improve the user's browser fingerprint.
Browser fingerprinting technology collects and analyzes hardware, software, and configuration data from a user's device in a variety of ways to generate a unique digital fingerprint that allows a website to continuously track and identify users without relying on IP addresses or cookies. Unlike traditional tracking technologies, such as IP addresses and cookies, browser fingerprinting is more accurate and stealthy, which makes it an increasingly commonly used user tracking tool. However, while browser fingerprinting has a powerful role in tracking and analysis, it also poses challenges in terms of user privacy, so some privacy protection measures, such as fingerprint blocking tools, are gaining traction among users.
Fingerprint browser(Antidetect Browser) or electron fingerprint browser is a specially designed for:Concealment or camouflageThe browser fingerprinting tool is designed to help users improve privacy protection when surfing the Internet. Unlike regular browsers, the goal of a fingerprint browser is to prevent or alter the collection of the user's device information by the website through the browser fingerprint, so as to avoid being tracked and identified by the website. Through a series of technical means, such as customizing fingerprint information, masking fingerprint collection scripts, etc., the fingerprint browser effectively makes each window have a unique browser fingerprint. When the website collects these fingerprint information, it will judge that the user who is visiting this window is an independent and real user, and the user's real fingerprint information cannot be collected by the website, and the user will avoid the risk of being detected and blocked.
Fingerprint browsers make it difficult for websites and third-party tracking systems to accurately collect or identify a user's device characteristics by altering or masking device and browser identification information. Specifically, the working principle of the fingerprint browser is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Customize and randomize browser configuration and device characteristics
Fingerprint Browser can change the configuration of the browser based on user settings, such as operating system type, browser version, screen resolution, language settings, plug-ins, and fonts, etc., and can also generate this information randomly. Each time a user visits a website, the fingerprint browser generates a new "virtual" device configuration, either randomly or based on the user's settings, that differs from the real device information, effectively masking the original fingerprint. In this way, the website cannot identify the user by fixed hardware or software characteristics.
2. Simulate a multi-device environment
Many fingerprint browsers support multi-account management, which means that users can emulate multiple different devices and configurations in the same browser. This allows users to create multiple virtual identities and switch between different sessions without leaving a visible fingerprint. On e-commerce sites, users can log in to multiple accounts using different virtual devices and browser configurations, preventing these accounts from being identified and banned by the platform for logging in from the same device.
3. Block fingerprint collection scripts
Fingerprint browsers often have built-in protections to prevent websites and third-party scripts from collecting fingerprint data from the user's browser. These protections may include blocking fingerprinting tools, disabling Canvas fingerprinting, WebGL fingerprinting, or blocking JavaScript code from accessing hardware and software information.
4. Prevent IP address association
Fingerprint Browser also helps users change their IP address through the proxy server function, so as to avoid being identified or blocked by websites due to IP address association. Proxies allow users to hide their real IP address and make it appear to be coming from another location, further enhancing anonymity. So in this sense, the fingerprint browser is also known as an anti-association browser.
5. Prevent tracking by cookies
Many fingerprint browsers offer features that prevent cookies from tracking. By clearing or isolating cookies, fingerprint browsers can effectively prevent websites from using cookies to identify users. Even the cookie itself is one of the fingerprint information that can be customized in the fingerprint browser. More advanced fingerprint browsers also support "incognito mode" or "private browsing" that automatically deletes all cookies and cached data at the end of each session, preventing long-term accumulation of tracking information.
The main advantage of Fingerprint Browser is its unique cloaking and virtualization capabilities, which allow users to effectively manage multiple accounts while avoiding detection by the platform due to device or environment associations. These characteristics are in demandMulti-account managementandCircumvent associationsis especially important.
In many platforms, such as social media, e-commerce platforms, or advertising platforms, users may need to operate multiple accounts at the same time, such as an e-commerce operator managing multiple stores, or a marketing team managing multiple sets of promotional accounts. However, these platforms often prohibit users from logging in to multiple accounts using the same device or environment. Once it detects a connection between multiple accounts, such as having the same or similar browser fingerprint information, the platform may directly take action to ban it. Fingerprint Viewer solves this problem with virtualization technology.
