Experts in the field are weighing in on the mitigation rollout, with some suggesting that it’s a step in the right direction.
it should probably link to this: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/exit-ip-fingerprinting-between-vpn-servers which is the blog post, rather than a list of exit servers related to this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48143880
Others are proposing that browsers be configured to spoof the same information for all users, making it harder to identify individual devices.
I’d really like some version of E.G. Librewolf configured to spoof the exact SAME information no matter who’s using it. Like standard resolution for a 1080p monitor, the same GPU profile, Allow device timing stuff to work but with a fixed profile etc. Effectively, stop spoofing random data, start spoofing still useful but not for finger printing data.
