πŸ” Think clearing cookies keeps you private? Think again.

Websites use browser fingerprinting to track you by:
βœ… Your device & OS
βœ… Installed fonts & plugins
βœ… Screen resolution & settings

πŸ“Œ How to block it:
βœ” Use Firefox + Arkenfox
βœ” Enable ResistFingerprinting
βœ” Try Brave, Mullvad, or Tor
