The problem with this is the less unique you are, the more you start looking like a bot. The more you look like a bot the more times you have to do things to prove you aren't, like captchas

- anidea01 7y agoTrue. But I only care about filling captchas on say banking websites, which is approximately happens once a month. The rest, I just close the tab: the content never worth it. The most obnoxious ads don't care about captchas, they just blast you with ads from your previous search keywords/browsing history. p.s. Would the amount of captchas reduce if we take not the top most non-unique fingerprint, but say "slightly below average"? It will be still severely non-unique for ads purposes.
