    Seems to be making a lot out of “you send your user agent and screen resolution”.

        There were a couple of things on that page that were novel to me. “Only a couple” made it worthwhile though:

        1. There’s a free tier to a service that gives you geolocation data from an IP address
        2. This site counts the number of times you move to a different tab

          I didnt mean this site specifically just in general.

          See this site for something more technical.
