That was interesting.
Is there an add-on that changes the header information from an HTTP request to show bogus but common identifying information?
That is crowdsource the most common configurations and set that as the default in the add-on, so now you look like just another face in the crowd.
It’s more than just the header information. The graphics and audio checksum can give away details of what your device is, even if those details don’t match what header information you are sending. That mismatch is itself information they can use.
