Amidst the glossy marketing for VPN services, it can be tempting to believe that the moment you flick on the VPN connection you can browse the internet with full privacy. Unfortunately this is quit…

A more accurate goal for Tor/Mullvad is anonymizing, e.g. “blending in with the crowd.”
It’s like radically changing your clothes every day vs wearing super incognito stuff. Different means, each more optimal for different aspects of security/privacy.
Already done, see: https://github.com/uazo/cromite
When I go to the fingerprint test, a bunch of the values like canvas resolution and timezone are randomized.
