Ask HN: How to Combat Browser Fingerprinting?
1 comments
If you are using firefox you can try enabling the resistFingerprinting flag. Note that this is an experimental feature.
Steps to enable are as follows:
* Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
* A warning page may appear. Click Accept the Risk and Continue to go to the about:config page.
* Search for privacy.resistFingerprinting and set to true.

Note: This setting might be changed by some plugins so it might be a good idea to check this periodically

1. In Firefox how can I control the HTTP_ACCEPT Headers to make them more generic (less trackable)?
2. Are there any good websites that have step-by-step guides to make your browser fingerprint less unique?
