Hacker News Reader

Hi! I'm the author, I have indeed misunderstood that (and updated the post text to reflect that better, thanks!), but also - can someone really avoid having a unique fingerprint? Or randomizing it is the only way to go? (Referencing something along the lines of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/17mp39r/does_it_m...).

This would be a good read for you - https://tb-manual.torproject.org/anti-fingerprinting/. There's also Linux distributions like my current daily driver - https://wiki.cachyos.org/support/faq/#rfp-resist-fingerprint... that implement their own forks of Firefox and may add additional sandboxing like bubblewrap or firejail on top of it.

That being said I was a lifelong Windows user up until 5-6 years ago, and while everyone else in my family uses apple devices I was never interested in using one(since I like building my own PCs :p)
