Fashion Faux Pas: Implicit Stylistic Fingerprints for Bypassing Browsers' Anti-Fingerprinting Defenses

Xu Lin, Frederico Araujo, Teryl Taylor, Jiyong Jang and Jason Polakis

StylisticFP fingerprints a browser and device using only CSS: sized iframes, media queries and element layouts reveal fonts, operating system, browser and screen properties through dimensions alone, so no JavaScript API is touched and the anti-fingerprinting defences in Tor, Brave, Firefox, Safari and privacy extensions, which hook those APIs, never see the tracking.
