    ...as long as you are blocking tracking cookies, and aren't on a session with a website that's tracking you.

    Otherwise, you just have a nice unique hash in your cookies. A password manager could help here.

    A password manager? Could you explain why?

    Cookies and other ways of keeping a session upright are kept by the browser. So unless you're mad enough to copy cookies between devices, they prove you're on the same device.

    Using a password every time you log in, and letting your browser wipe everything on shutdown does not show websites wether you're on yhe same or another device.

    @Boomkop3 @broken_chatbot Do you mean not keeping browser history actually makes big difference? I do that for few years but wasn't sure how much it really helped.
