Amidst the glossy marketing for VPN services, it can be tempting to believe that the moment you flick on the VPN connection you can browse the internet with full privacy. Unfortunately this is quit…

Damn… I guess the next idea is going offline for good

Doesn’t browser with anti-fingerpriting give the same settings to everyone using that browser so they all look like the same person?

Yes and I think that’s kinda dumb. It’s never going to be possible to have everyone look the same. I would go the other route. Randomize everything everytime so you never leave twice the same fingerprints. That’s way easier and it polutes marketers dabases, which is a double win.

If you are using a popular VPN I guess that’s an option, but if you are going through the onion, where several nodes are being monitored, being the only guy that looks different, regardless if each time is a different different, just makes you too easy to be tracked :P
