    The EFF site is great, it tells you how many bits of information are identifiable.

    If you think you have good protection, go to http://fingerprint.com and see if they can track you across multiple visits. This is a commercial fingerprinting company, on their homepage they have a tracking widget to demonstrate how good they are. So it’s always useful to use fingerprint.com to get an empirical test of if you’re trackable.

      Visited on my mobile this morning while commuting and no VPN and it geo located me 1000 miles away.

      Visited again connected to a WiFi network and it got me right. Fun stuff

            Thats pretty common for cellular data. Your IP is based on the exit of the mobile network, not the tower you connect with, but the data center of your provider. Which could be thousand of miles away
