randomizing browser figerprint good practice?
The_Learner:
If i may, can I ask what your threat model is?
sure, currently I just want to reduce my digital footprint as much as possible. as Daniel mentioned even tor can be hacked by NSA. I am not hiding from the three letter agency I just want to be more private online. that’s pretty much it. I don’t want google, facebook and other random website to track me while I surf the internet. that’s why I thought of randomizing fingerprint since that way whenever I will visit the website again they won’t know it’s me!
I am already using Tuta, Proton, Mullvad and other privacy respecting services. never used tor though since pretty much every website I use blocks tor exit nodes.
also switched from gmail to tuta as my identity so now instead of signing with google I provide them a email alias provided by tuta, proton, simplelogin etc and use a password manager to store the password.
WhyRhy:
If, what you describe, is your threat model ‘as is’ then you’re doing a good job. If you’re talking ISP, packets and whatnot (and much, much more…), then no.
I am currently not concerned about my ISP and all, I will tackle that eventually though.
