I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it gives my exact GPU, but that was surprising to me. Just so everyone knows, its an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and I paid way too much for it during the covid/crypto price explosion when they were sold out everywhere. Still a bit raw about that, but it is an excellent card on Linux (fedora)

"Your graphics processor identified itself as or similar"

guess mine isn't such a specific model as yours. so I don't have a real GPU, i have something similar to a GPU??? did I get a knock off Alibaba version?

The GPU string really is the spicy one combined with screen + fonts it's enough to single you out across most of the open web. The card itself is a tank.

Yeah the exact kind shouldn't matter - just the WebGL capabilities.

It got mine quite wrong (Firefox).

The thing that bothered me is that browser are still sending the Referer info. I thought that was not supposed to work under https?
