You can never be non-unique because of your actions. To stay in the analogy of tracks: it really doesn't matter how your Tires look, the direction of the tracks

You can never be non-unique because of your actions.
To stay in the analogy of tracks: it really doesn't matter how your Tires look, the direction of the tracks make you unique.
That's the same reason why Tor is not secure.
But you can make it harder by cutting your tracks in smaller pieces.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoThere is another idea I did not mention and that is "minimalising" the behavioural fingerprint. The most simple examples I can think of are DNS and Wikipedia. User A makes a single request to download bulk DNS data or Wikipedia content, then makes it available on her loopback or local network. User B makes a series of DNS queries for specific RR's or HTTP requests for specific Wikipedia pages. How do the behavioural fingerprints of User A and User B compare? Trackers generally cannot see the individual DNS queries or HTTP requests for Wikipedia pages that User A makes over her loopback or to addresses on her local network. However all of User B's individual DNS queries and HTTP requests, including timings and context, are easily visible to a variety of trackers operating on the internet.
