    Interesting… Tor, Mullvad, and other secure browsers, go to the exact opposite approach, though… they try to make everyone look the same so they can’t tell you apart across IPs

      Yeah, exactly.

      Cromite’s explicit focus is, literally, antifingerprinting. With the goal of breaking cross site tracking I guess.

      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.
