On the other hand, **advanced** fingerprinting scripts can detect randomized values created by your browser (this is always possible) with varying levels of sophistication, going to greater lengths to fingerprint you than most anti-fingerprinting methods can protect against. The only way to defeat advanced scripts is by blending in with a crowd of other identical looking browsers, which is no easy feat.
