Hi again,
so, in my other question I was reminded about Browserleaks and while I was there testing TLS I also tested Canvas and it said 100% unique which I was surprised because I have the Enhance Protection in FF in "Custom" with both fingerprinting options selected and in "in all windows", plus CanvasBlocker.
100% unique is not good, right?
That's what I thought at first. But then I remembered, CanvasBlocker rotates settings all the time, so even if my fingerprint is 100% unique it's also changing all the time which means "they" can't identify me (supposedly).
Then I also thought "actually it might be better than not 100% unique because in that case I might have more issues with websites thinking that it's someone else trying to access my account". But then I thought "although if it's 100% unique changing all the time it's also like if it was a different person".
I deactivated CanvasBlocker and tested again and it was also 100% unique.
Then I reactivated CanvasBlocker and I deactivated FF's anti-fingerprint. Again 100% unique.
In other words, I don't see a way to see what is the difference between using CanvasBlocker on top of the native FF anti-fingerprint.
That's where you can help :)
So, questions.
1) can you tell me what exactly does FF block about fingerprinting?
And, does it rotate settings like CanvasBlocker so that this "100% unique" is not actually a real issue because it's different every time?
Or is it a bad kind of 100% unique in that case?
2) what would create less issues of websites thinking that I am not me? A rotating 100% unique, or a not 100% unique (in which case, how to I achieve that, considering that neither CanvasBlocker nor FF's anti-fingerprint nor both together can do that?).
Would you say that having a VPN with own DNS which block tracking on a domain level, plus AdGuard with all possible filters, plus FF's Enhanced Protection in "Custom" with all at max, plus CanvasBlocker, is a good combo?
Or what could I improve to reach a good balance of not being tracked/fingerprinted, not being blocked "because I am not me", reasonably light resources usage, and reasonable browsing speeds?
I used uBlock Origin previously because it's lighter on resources and it triggers my laptop's fans much less than AdGuard but it doesn't block (not even with element picker) some annoying things of websites that I visit often. In case you wanted to recommend that :)
Thanks!
