What websites can observe about your browser, including IP address, screen, language, time zone, graphics, storage, permissions and account state.

Network information

The destination normally sees the public-facing IP address used for the connection and can observe basic connection metadata. A separate routing service is required to change the visible exit address.

Browser and platform hints

Websites receive information that helps them deliver compatible content. Modern browsers increasingly reduce some high-detail values because excessive detail can aid fingerprinting.

Screen, language and time zone

Screen dimensions, pixel density, preferred languages and time zone can all be observed in normal web use and can contribute to a fingerprint when combined.

Graphics and media behavior

Canvas, WebGL, audio and media APIs can expose useful capability information and also add fingerprinting entropy.

Storage and account state

Cookies and local storage can show that a browser has visited before. If you sign in, the account becomes an explicit identifier.

Powerful permissions

Camera, microphone, location and notifications generally require permission or user interaction. Review persistent permissions and revoke access that is no longer needed.

Frequently asked questions

Does private browsing make me anonymous?

No. Private browsing mainly changes local browser-session storage. Network routing, account identity and fingerprinting are separate layers.

Should I trust one privacy score?

Use scores as diagnostics, not guarantees. Compare the actual signals a browser exposes and test the specific layer you care about.

Can websites still recognize a signed-in account?

Yes. If you sign in, the service can associate activity with that account even when the browser session is private.

The takeaway

Privacy works best when each layer is clear and testable. Local browser data, website tracking, permissions and network routing are related, but they are not the same thing. Voryqe is designed around making those differences visible instead of presenting one magic privacy switch.

Editorial note: Voryqe does not claim that ordinary private browsing makes users anonymous. Network-routing features should be evaluated separately from local browsing modes.
