I think that’s good, a layer of obfuscation.
What browser is that?

huh… mobile or desktop?

If you have something useful to say just skip to that.
edit: regarding the randomized fingerprint result only, spare me the Brave lecture, it’s not going to be my main browser anyway.

I found this looking around the site:
In order to get this extra level of protection, your browser needs to have a fingerprint which is either:
so common that a tracker can’t tell you apart from the crowd (as in Tor Browser), or
randomized so that a tracker can’t tell it’s you from one moment to the next (as in Brave browser).
Google’s Chrome browser does not provide protection against trackers or fingerprinters in Incognito Mode.
Is there any way to provide randomised fingerprints in Firefox?
Mullvad browser is the best i think
It doesn’t suit me personally, I want more extensions. In particular, I use uMatrix, as it gives a little more flexibility than uBlock Origin even in authormode. I’ve been able to bypass paywalls by targeting elements from a domain, rather than the domain itself. But also there are plenty of quality of life extensions I rely on, eg gestures.
Mullvad is very good out of the box though, I’ll give it that. And I use Mull on Android quite happily (although this does allow more extensions, pretty sure the two aren’t affiliated).
Nah, Mull is a project of the guy that makes the DivestOS android os
Yes, you can do it manually by enabling resistFingerprinting, but the easiest way is to just install LibreWolf browser which is a fork of Firefox. Or Mull which is practically the same thing, but Android.
Use the Canvas blocker extension. It will randomize your fingerprint. So the test will say you have a unique still, but it is random every time.
I’d also like to know this. Hopefully someone can provide some info for us.
