Browser Leak Test - Discover What Your Browser Reveals About You
Our free Browser Leak Test helps you understand what personal information your web browser is revealing to websites. In today's digital world, browsers can leak dozens of data points that can be used to track you, fingerprint your device, and compromise your privacy.
What is Browser Fingerprinting?
Browser fingerprinting is a tracking technique that collects multiple pieces of information from your browser to create a unique "fingerprint" of your device. Unlike cookies that can be cleared, browser fingerprints are difficult to change because they're based on your browser configuration, installed fonts, screen resolution, plugins, and other settings.
What Information Can Websites Collect?
- Basic Information - Browser type, version, operating system, language settings
- Hardware Details - Screen resolution, color depth, graphics card information
- Time & Location - Timezone, local time, approximate location from IP address
- Installed Software - Browser plugins, fonts, WebGL capabilities
- Behavioral Data - Cookie acceptance, Do Not Track status, JavaScript capabilities
- Advanced Fingerprinting - Canvas fingerprinting, AudioContext fingerprinting, WebRTC leaks
How Our Browser Leak Test Works
Our tool runs a series of non-invasive tests to see what information your browser is willing to share. All tests run locally in your browser - no data is sent to our servers. The results show you exactly what websites can learn about you and provides a privacy score based on how much information is being revealed.
Key Tests Performed
- User Agent Analysis - What browser and OS you're using
- Screen & Display Tests - Resolution, color depth, pixel ratio
- Time & Language Detection - Timezone and language preferences
- Plugin & Font Detection - What plugins and fonts are installed
- Canvas Fingerprinting - Graphics rendering capabilities
- WebGL Information - Graphics card and 3D rendering details
- Storage Capabilities - Local storage, cookies, session storage
- Connection Information - IP address (partial), WebRTC leaks
- Privacy Settings - Do Not Track status, cookie preferences
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this test safe to run?
Yes! All tests run completely locally in your browser. We don't collect or store any of your information. The tool only shows you what information websites could potentially collect if you visited them.
What's the difference between cookies and fingerprinting?
Cookies are small files websites store on your computer that can be easily cleared. Fingerprinting collects multiple pieces of information from your browser configuration to create a unique identifier that's much harder to change or reset.
How can I improve my privacy score?
Use privacy-focused browsers (Firefox, Brave), install privacy extensions (uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger), disable unnecessary plugins, use private browsing mode, and consider using a VPN to mask your IP address.
What is canvas fingerprinting?
Canvas fingerprinting is a technique where websites use the HTML5 canvas element to draw hidden images and text. The way your browser renders these images creates a unique pattern that can be used to identify your device.
Can websites see my exact location?
Websites can see your approximate location from your IP address (usually accurate to city level). With permission, they can access your precise GPS location. Our test checks what location information is available without asking for permission.
What does "Do Not Track" actually do?
Do Not Track is a browser setting that sends a request to websites not to track you. However, it's not legally enforced, so websites can choose to ignore it. It's more of a privacy preference statement than an actual technical block.
