I went on amiunique.com, and it says that I’m unique.

Lowest scores: list of fonts JS (0.01%), canvas (0.00%), media devices (0.00%), user agent (0.11%), and audio data (0.80%)

I use Linux Mint Debian edition, Librewolf browser, and Mullvad VPN. How do I become less unique?

    Using Tor Browser with default settings is probably the least time consuming way of reducing a site’s ability to uniquely identify you.

      I wonder if you don’t actually use tor but use their version of Firefox if you still get their anti fingerprint benefits, or if being one of the few tor users not using tor makes you too unique.

        A big part of the anonymisation of Tor is from the routing, so I’m doubtful that just using their Firefox customizations would be enough.

          That’s not what I was talking about. The Tor network (onion routing) is a totally separate thing. Tor as an application has very good anti fingerprint protections. I was referring to that feature specifically not the rest of Tor.

          Sure if you really wanna benefit, use Tor’s routing. But I am just admiring that the people that built Tor really knew what they were doing in all aspects of the application including the anti fingerprint protections.
