With iOS 26, Safari will counter one of the web’s most invasive tracking methods
Advanced Fingerprinting Protection was optionally available for regular non-private Safari sessions. With iOS 26, it will be enabled by default.

Fingerprinting works by combining dozens of small technical clues, like screen size, GPU, audio stack, mouse movements, and even the fonts installed on your device, to build a profile that can uniquely identify you. To make it more difficult to reliably extract details about the user’s configuration, Safari injects noise into various APIs: namely, during 2D canvas and WebGL readback, and when reading AudioBuffer samples using WebAudio.
