Hello, I would like to discuss about what title says.
I would like to understand if this actually improves privacy or creates more concerns speaking of fingerprinting. I tried some fingerprint tests and sometimes I got an user agent of a browser version that it's still not even out, this creates an unique fingerprint of me even if my agent is spoofed.
Is spoofing user agent actually useful? Also this requires some whitelisting work, because many website will simply malfunction if you set a wrong agent (i.e. CloudFlare captchas). Furthermore you can easily get into annoying situations such as a lot of orphan (fake) devices in your websites account security section, since basically it looks like you always log in from another system/browser.
I appreciate the work and the effort put into this extension, but I would like to understand if there are any actual benefit in using it. Thanks
