Even on the clearnet, browser fingerprinting isn't all that useful. It might be able to uniquely identify a user without using cookies, but even then you know nothing about them, except that it is the same person you saw before. You don't know anything about them.

It is used in fraud prevention - if you have someone trying to create multiple accounts with the same browser fingerprint, it is a red flag. But clever fraudsters can get around it easily.

The fact that it does what it does is kind of amazing, though. Before it became public, no one realized how much information every browser was "leaking"

That's why you need a software called Anti-Detect
