Even though i have Proton VPN blocking trackers and use firefox with arkenfox EFF always says my browser has a unique fingerprint. Same with Mullvad browser and Tor. When I switched Tor to “Safer” it said near unique fingerprint, and only when i switched it to safest did it say i am protected from fingerprinting

from my results id guess that it has no fingerprit thanks to no javascript, but 90% of websites are useless without js

      The issueI have with the “always unique” plan is that if they can determine your browser was associated with some set of unique IDs, then they can track you. Imagine a TOTP where the keys were leaked so the adversary can determine the entire set of possible codes.

      If everyone’s fingerprints always match each other’s, then you have plausible deniability.

        f they can determine your browser was associated with some set of unique IDs, then they can track you

        The only scenario in which this could happen would leave both strategies equally vulnerable.
