    It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you

    Yeah, 💯. Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again 😁 I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?

    Didn’t click your link,

    Haha, no worries!

      According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting

      Yeah, that’s why Tor Browser has such strong privacy. You blend into the crowd because everyone’s resistance is the same :)

      I’d also rather stand out sometimes by resisting Fingerprinting to much than always being Fingerprinted accurately

        Nice, I should make sure I have FF’s fingerprint resistance on.

        Yeah, hopefully more and more people start putting up strong privacy walls, so there’s more of a crowd to blend with!
