@backsla.sh_: Any website can run silent JavaScript that generates an invisible sound sample inside your browser. The ad-tech industry already does this. The way your CPU, drivers, and audio stack process that signal produces floating point values unique to your machine. Those values get hashed into an identifier that follows you across the internet, including through VPNs and Incognito mode. This has nothing to do with cookies. This isn't something you can't disable without breaking websites, but it can be spoofed. Brave injects fake noise so every site gets a different hash. Tor makes every user return the same output so you disappear into the crowd. Test yours at coveryourtracks.eff.org For educational purposes only.
