Browser fingerprinting: difference Pix6 and 7/8 ?

Beware8

I wonder if browser fingerprinting will show a difference between Pixels 6, 7 and 8?

I know 7 and 6 have the same resolution right, so any remote tool checking for the browser window size won't be able to tell the diff between 6 and 7, yes?

How is this with the flagship model, 8?

I can't afford a 8 but thinking of getting a 7a. If all is well nobody should be able to figure out I am in fact on my new phone , using browser tests.

Is this a correct statement?

Beware8 There are a lot of ways in which you can be fingerprinted when browsing and to the best of my knowledge the best thing to do right now is try to blend in with others by using the same browser, same browser settings, etc., but to give a better answer it would help if you say what are you trying to achieve more precisely. I believe the brave browser does the best job against fingerprinting, but still it's a losing battle.

Yes, it can. If it does, depends on the used methods.

Beware8 don't over think about the fingerprinting part while choosing a device, websites are finding new ways to fingerprint you. Try https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

I just use Vanadium in incognito mode always.

Btw wait for the pixel 8a, the 8 series have the mte option which is a security improvement over the older pixel generations.

Beware8 Fingerprinting... The absolute best you can ever hope for, in the absolute best case scenario is to fool some simple, dumb, naïve scripts if you use something like Firefox with privacy.resistfingerprinting enabled, with Arkenfox, and very few or no extensions. However Firefox on Android lacks proper sandboxing of their web renderer, so it is not recommended and Vanadium should be used instead!

Now this part is very important:

No matter what you do, unless you use Tor Browser on "Safest" (block all JavaScript and don't think of allowing ANYTHING!) you will never be able to fool sophisticated scripts!

So... If your threat model calls for evasion of all fingerprinting scripts, doesn't natter what you do on any browser. Brave with shields on max, Firefox with full Arkenfox, doesn't matter. Your only going to fool naïve scripts, and the sophisticated scripts will track you anyways. I personally block all JavaScript in Vanadium and add site exemptions for top level sites that I need to work. If I just want to read an article though and its not working, I won't unblock it! I'll go find a site that works without JavaScript. Its a pain though, but only thing that even kinda may help.

Tor Browser on Safest will work though. That's the only guaranteed way to be safe from fingerprinting if your threat model calks for it! (NOT Orbot or ProtonVPN's "TOR over VPN" or anything like that either, the actual TOR Browser, on Safest!)

Pixel 6, 7 and 8 have the same resolution: 1080x2400. You can use this website to compare them and see for yourself: https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11037&idPhone2=11903

Yes but 412x786 is the browser size for Vanadium on Pixel 6

I don't know what this is on 7 and 8 but it makes the phone type more identifiable without much other fingerprinting

How would this work , given the fact of same screen resolution on several Pixels?

There are other ways to fingerprint the device type aside from screen resolution.
