Why YSK: Websites on the internet often try to uniquely identify your device, this extension attempts to prevent that and make it hard for them to do so.

    I tried that and then one of those “how common is your fingerprint” websites said my fingerprint was unique. Literally fucking unique.

    I think it was the EFF site.

    Might have something to do with other extensions I have installed like Canvas Blocker, uMatrix, etc.

    Fuck, even in Mull on my phone where I only have a few extentions installed: uBlock Origin, cookie auto delete, local CDN, and a cookie consent blocker.

      As you suggested, I suspect it’s the rare combination of additional extensions that’s contributing to your uniqueness in a fingerprinting sense.
