This one is also an interesting test because it has ways around many obfuscation attempts that privacy oriented browsers utilize. Well... less of a test and more of a showcase how creepy js is.
On my setup it was able to get way more info compared to coveryourtracks. For example, creepjs always detects my actual display size, but coveryourtracks doesn't.

Not even chameleon seems to be able to hide all your stuff from creepjs.
So the best privacy you can get is to disable js completely.
Thanks for sharing CreepJS. Agreed on JavaScript. I'm a fan of LibreJS filling in a gap after uMatrix was discontinued.
Wasn't most/all of uMatrix functionality folded into uBlock Origin?
Dunno. I like uBlock Origin a lot but disabling scripts per site is not something that feels very comfortable for me. With LibreJS it can be quite a hassle but I'm already quite used to that, and on the way I kind of learn things. Like that blocking scripts about Apple and Google logins at Twitter with LibreJS helps with clutter free reading and not being asked to login.
