    I’ve often wondered how this works when people use generic computers like macbooks. I’ve been banned from subs before but because I make a new account like once a year I just end up back there commenting eventually and I haven’t ever been banned again.

      Just your browser already gives away a ton about you. See here: https://amiunique.org/fp

      Out of 2,000,000 fingerprints my browser is unique (well, I do use Firefox). So in theory a website owner could identify me just based on that. No IP needed.
