Site feels very LLM generated - in particular the writing just feels off

The browser knows and shares way more than this... One of the worst offenders is the list of installed fonts. Pretty sure I stick out so hard just on that.

Interesting, I wonder how unique the fingerprinting is though, they don't give you any specific stats.

Is it really possible to identify me with like 1/100 precision for example, if you don't have my real IP, real country, no trackers, and all you have is a list of fonts, my graphics card, and the browser info?

~~Quite fear mongering and not very educative. Throws around a lot of terms whose meanings are not explained, nor are there links to further descriptions. This doesn't help people who need to know about this stuff. If you already know about this stuff, it doesn't really add any value.~~
