- mulmen 6y agoIf it’s truly random wouldn’t that make you even easier to identify?
- airstrike 6y agoNot if everyone else uses it too
- mulmen 6y agoEven if everyone else uses it. If your random pages are a, b and c but my pages are d, e and f or even a, b and d then it’s still easy to fingerprint us. Extensions like this might work if they visited the same sites all other users visit. Otherwise you’re just adding even more unique information for the trackers.
- airstrike 6y agoBut if both our random pages are a, b and c, and the only difference is when or how often I accessed each of those, then making it random for both of us will effectively turn us into the same person.
- mulmen 6y agoWhat about all the other pages you visit? How does adding random traffic to your history make you any harder to identify? It just creates more datapoints.
