If your OS does proper address randomization, it's no more identifying than ipv4.

- exabrial 11y agoI don't see how that could possibly be true. Even with privacy extensions, you can't "clear your cookies" start fresh with another IP address. There is no incognito mode with IPv6. There is not anonymous NAT. It's no surprise to me that the companies pushing IPV6 the hardest are also the ones most interested in your personal data.
- feld 11y agoNAT provides no privacy. You're delusional.
- acqq 11y agoAre you aware of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT "Critics of carrier-grade NAT argue the following aspects:" "It makes record keeping for law-enforcement operations more difficult, except if the translation of the addresses is logged."
- feld 11y agoWith all of the metadata you're leaking onto the internet there are far better ways to track you than by IP.
- azernik 11y ago> Even with privacy extensions, you can't "clear your cookies" start fresh with another IP address. Yes. You can. You do. And IPv6 hosts that implement address randomization according to the RFC will do so periodically without user intervention. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4941 The RFC (from 2007) suggests a default address lifetime of 1 day, but actual implementations tend to use MUCH shorter ones.
