So you can't effectively identify devices or browsers?
(I'm feeling the weight of my technical ignorance here, though the obvious backdrop is that none of us should ever expect anything we do on a computer to be private.)

Most browsers send some information about themselves. Some only send the name an version of the browser and some send info about the device they're running on (but that's only name and version too, in most cases). It is not possible to identify a device using that, because there might be a lot of devices sending exactly the same string.

We only have some logs of what your browser sends when it does a request. Any more than that would require us to run analytics scripts on the browser, and you won't see that on Phuks while I'm still in charge here.
You can even check this by yourself using your browser's inspector tools, the only data sent to out servers is the bare necessary to serve a request, plus a websocket connection that is used for all the live stuff (/all/new updates, notifications and the chat window).
