    Is there a fingerprint randomizing browser or plugin yet? Last time I lazily researched it there just wasn’t one good enough, I keep limping along with ublock and umatrix and all that.

      AFAIK (which isn’t much), LibreWolf does this by standardizing all it’s ‘outputs’ so no one can tell either browser apart. As long as you don’t change anything that is.

        Giving up umatrix would be hard, but maybe this’d replace DDG for my “I just need this site to work right now” browser 🤔

          DON’T BOTHER

          uMatrix ⚠️ No longer maintained, the last release was Sept 2019 except for a one-off patch to fix a vulnerability

          Everything uMatrix did can be covered by prefs or other extensions: use uBlock Origin for any content blocking.

            Okay but what “other extension” let’s me hyperactively manage which exact domains I allow requests to? 🙃

          It’s what I always use if I’m ordering anything online, especially if the site I’m interacting with has like 17 different scripts it needs to function properly, or has been shown to play high pitched sounds through your speakers to connect your desktop session with your phone (aliexpress). >…>

        Other than that the site can tell it is Librewolf.
        Although, I opened amiunique.org in 2 different ways and the audio data and canvas footprints were showing up to be unique in both. So unless they are randomising it on every start, it is not standard enough.

        While on firefox (on a close enough version), the Audio data was coming unsupported, which made it ~30% similarity ratio. On checking now though, the Audio data is visible with firefox.

        What made my browser unique was the Canvas and the List of fonts. The latter tends to change every now and then without me doing anything special, because I just downloaded too many fonts.
