Also known, Ive hardened aspossible my system, but as say, it's always a compromise between being able to use the network properly and being filled with patches and not being able to access a large part of the pages, also at a speed much lower than that contracted for good money (TOR).

I2P, yes, too, but what can be found in a decentralized network that is useful for normal daily use? All this to prevent them from collecting data that I have already falsified without all this?

Privacy is certainly very important, but we must differentiate between sensitive and private data and merely technical data, protecting the first is vital, the second not so much.

We just have to prevent pages from adding unwanted things to our system or from logging our online activity to flood us with spam and worse, and this is not so difficult without having to strangle ourselves. The rest depends on the user himself, which is the biggest security hole, for entering sites without checking, clicking on accept without having read PP and TOS, who posts on Facebook even when he is going to piss (but naturally using TOR) to his 3967 friends, downloading torrents, opening attachments in a friend's email, being convinced that FOSS is automatically always secure and private... etc. (damn Dark Pattern). This is the problem, of not knowing where one can go and where one cannot.

100% privacy is shutdown the PC and reading a book.

Well, it's right that 100% privacy don't exist, not even with TOR and VPN. Fingerprint is another thing, spoofing it is also an unique identifier, apart can brake some websites, better is to use an extension which randomize an fingerprint. Your simple e-mail adress is an unique identifier which can be tracked and other things which I know very well.

That is out of doubt, but the first step is to know your enemy and how he work and with which methodes try to track you, only then you have a chance, not to hide you, but to give him invalid informations, this is the sense of this list I put.

If i go to Browserleaks, it says that I have an unique Fingerprint, yes, but I've an different unique fingerprint in every visit, that is the point. It's not important that a web see which OS I use, which screen resolution, which browser engine or with my public IP in which country I live (if I don't use an VPN), because this are the same datas of millions of other users.

But it's about the crap to avoid, identifiers which a web try to put in our system to track us. This a modern browser can avoid with inbuild protections or extensions without problems (as say, if you don't use Big Brother browsers which tracks you by themselfs, Like Google Chrome, EDGE, Opera...), and naturally also search engines which don't log your activity (these from same companies and some others). Using VPN and TOR and searching with Google and posting in Facebook don''t serve.
