Why YSK: Websites on the internet often try to uniquely identify your device, this extension attempts to prevent that and make it hard for them to do so.

    As you suggested, I suspect it’s the rare combination of additional extensions that’s contributing to your uniqueness in a fingerprinting sense.

      I tried turning them all off and nothing changed. Same result with the Duck Duck Go browser set on Android. Unique fingerprint. And I have no extensions. I wonder if my VPN is part of the fingerprint. I did read a lot of the explanation of what fingerprints you, but I didn’t see VPN in there. I should do a search on that page to see.
