[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 1001953, member: 59691"] I can't add much more to what [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] and [USER=55987]@HarborFront[/USER] said. But you should know that it doesn't really help to randomly change your IP adress when your browser is set to another language than the language of the country where your IP adress is coming from or when your browser is set to a completely different time-zone than the country of the IP adress you are connected to for example. You need to align all the information correctly or you will be basically more unique than before. So fingerprinting is a very complex topic that can't be solved by installing a few extensions. I personally don't really think much of privacy extensions, but some time ago I checked out the JShelter and Windscribe extension and I think both of them do quite a good job at covering a few fingerprinting techniques.
