    What does your browser identify as when you run a fingerprint test? Because if it still claims youre running Firefox or librewolf, that is basically all the fingerprint they need to get you. The ff/lw market share is basically a fingerprint of its own.

    edit: Tested Librewolf, fresh install, but turned up all the anti-fingerprinting stuff got uniquely fingerprinted by https://amiunique.org/ . I dont know what the anti-fingerprinting stuff does, but its not even close to enough.

      I guess Whonix VM and Mullvad browser with it’s VPN are the only working anti-fingerprinting tools so far. It’s genuinely that difficult to get anti-fingerprinting right, because there are like a bazillion ways to get fingerprinted.

      And personally I just stopped bothering with anti-fingerprinting because of this. I think I did my fair share of hurting the mass surveillance machine by getting a few contacts to Signal, occasionally using AdNauseum, and donating a bit to Graphene OS. Might as well let myself be fingerprinted now.
