Random would be even more unique. The solution (to this particular problem) is for a majority of users to set the exact same headers, regardless of the reality

Some browser vendors have started to remove the specific version from the User Agent string, for instance. Tor browser window is an actual square specifically to make that value (browser width & height) the same across all its users and improve their privacy (by making that value useless in finding uniqueness)
Hope that makes sense, sorry if I mis-explained some things
- quicklime 6y agoYes, random values would be more unique, but if those values are changed on each request, wouldn't that make me harder to track? For example suppose my user agent string (and canvas fingerprint, accept header, etc) was different on every request. Would this be enough to stop ad networks from correlating each of my very-unique requests, and prevent them from tracking me across different pages?
