"textContent": "By default, Chromium sends `Sec-CH-UA`, `Sec-CH-UA-Platform`, and `Sec-CH-UA-Mobile` with every request. High-entropy hints (like architecture, model, platform version, etc.) are only sent when a site includes an Accept-CH response header. (They’re also available via `NavigatorUAData` API but my concern here is specifically the request headers, since that can be blocked more easily.)\n\nDoes removing or minimizing these default Client Hints make a browser more fingerprintable (because it deviates from the expected baseline) or less fingerprintable (because it reduces entropy)? And how common is the `Accept-CH` header in the wild, actually being abused for fingerprinting in practice?",
