What is browser fingerprinting? How to prevent browser fingerprinting detection?
Privacy and security issues are highly concerned in daily internet usage. Browser fingerprinting technology has unique applications in business and security fields, but it also brings privacy and security risks to users. Especially for cross-border e-commerce sellers who manage multiple accounts, having the same browser fingerprint information across different accounts can lead to account association and bans. Let’s learn together what browser fingerprinting is, its functions, and how to prevent browser fingerprint detection.
Browser fingerprinting refers to a technology that creates a unique fingerprint by collecting distinctive information from the user’s browser and device, such as the operating system, browser version, screen resolution, fonts, plugins, etc., in order to identify and track users’ online behavior. This fingerprint is similar to a human fingerprint, with uniqueness that allows websites to identify the same user even without cookies.
Cross-border e-commerce platforms and social media platforms use browser fingerprint technology to determine whether accounts are related. Once it is detected that multiple accounts originate from the same device, account association may result in a ban. So, how can cross-border e-commerce businesses that operate multiple stores prevent browser fingerprint recognition?
One way to avoid detection is by logging into accounts on different computer devices. However, for e-commerce sellers with many stores, this is both time-consuming and costly, not to mention increasing the complexity of operations, making this solution unfeasible.
Another simple and effective method is to use anti-detection browsers to create multiple independent browser identities. With CtrlFire, a browser tailored for cross-border e-commerce, users can modify and disguise their browser fingerprint, creating independent browser environments for each account. CtrlFire allows users to customize various browser settings, including browser kernel version information, User Agent, WebGL data, language, timezone, webRtc, geolocation, window size, Canvas, AudioContext, ClientRects, device information, and more, reducing the risk of account association and detection.
Moreover, CtrlFire’s anti-association browser also provides proxy IP configuration, assigning a dedicated proxy IP address for each browser window, and supports generating language, address location, and timezone data based on the IP address. For cross-border e-commerce sellers managing multiple stores, CtrlFire’s anti-detection browser can effectively address the privacy and security risks brought by browser fingerprinting technology.
CtrlFire’s anti-detection browser features industry-leading anti-association technology, supporting social media operations, traffic monetization, and more. It supports the simulation of 33 types of browser fingerprint information and provides proxy replacements, offering independent login environments to bypass strict platform monitoring, making it easier for users to create account matrices.
