    @snek_boi Hi.

    Actually it’s really hard *not* to have a unique fingerprint and any addon you would install will rapidly make it harder.

    If your goal is to avoir having a unique fingerprint, I think it’s better to navigate through Tor. If it’s not, I think you can install some addons (try to avoid having too many of them and those which have been known by the community since a certain time, so your browser stays smooth and you reduce security risks).

        @peeonyou [Removed confused part, sorry for that]

        I think it’s important to refer to our threat model when we talk about privacy so we know what are our best options: https://www.privacyguides.org/basics/threat-modeling/

        If you can afford having a unique fingerprint but still want high privacy and security, using a password manager and only a few addons is okay.

          @peeonyou Oh sorry, I just read that I said “having a unique fingerprint” instead of “not having a unique fingerprint” everywhere. >.>

          My bad.

  • The Brave Browser has fantastic finger print blocking as it sends randomized information each time any service attempts to finger print your browser. Maybe start using Brave and forget about the issue? Its a chromium browser which by default blocks ad’s and trackers too. I’d recommend increasing the tracking and fingerprint security in the settings though.
