There's no point unless a critical mass of people use these tools. You will be the only one on your IP address using this configuration of masked fingerprinting, which is itself a fingerprint.
That's also why it's indeed useful when using Tor, because you're not identified by your base IP.
Unless we make this part of the culture, you have basically 0 recourse to browser fingerprinting except using Tor. Which can itself still be a useful fingerprint depending on the context.
EDIT: I'll add that using these tools outside of normal browsing use can be useful for obfuscating who's doing specific browsing, but it should be emphasized that using fingerprinting masking in isolation all the time is nearly as useful as not using them at all.
He was effectively years early to the “if you don’t like how twitter is run, build your own <smug face>” interesting how that argument isn’t used anymore.
As far as "obligatory xkcd" is concerned: 3154, 3155, 3159, 3160, 3162, 3165 and 3167 are all relevant. (I've found myself citing 3155 a lot, in attempts to deradicalise cranks: it sometimes works, if I can convince them to quit ChatGPT cold-turkey.)
It's fine to like the comics before around 2016, and dislike the ones afterwards, but there's nothing objective about that. Various people have put forward various thresholds for when xkcd "stopped being good", but ultimately it boils down to a combination of what TV Tropes would call "Tone Shift" and "They Changed It, Now It Sucks!".
A person used their relatively large platform to tell people that they don't support a crazy lunatic millionaire running the world's most powerful country? How scandalous!
In the USA, 2016 and onwards wasn't "just an election". It was something between a mildly harmful establishment candidate or a useless new face on one side, and "holy fucking shit are we actually letting this deranged wannabe monarch run for office?!?" on the other.
Give the man a break, it was (the start of) a crazy time, I'm actually surprised more creators didn't do something like this. If anything, it was barely even a political statement, more of a "hey fellow dems, go vote!" type thing.
No, but not understanding your audience, not being able to not divide your fanbase for absolutely no reason, and doing all that for Hillary Clinton who history will not at all be kind to…
His traffic and hot takes dropped and his influence declined to almost nothing… maybe those things aren’t unrelated?
I have packed ff with arkenfox js into container and maybe a handful other people use it https://github.com/grzegorzk/ff_in_podman. Still, most likely the IP address alone is probably the strongest part of fingerprint vector
Maybe instead it would be better to have very different vector each time?
