Very cool! Thanks for sharing - it’s always nice to learn about fingerprinting tricks and workarounds, from both a privacy and a “don’t unintentionally look like a bot” perspective.

What inspired the project?

Good blog post. Stuff like this makes me wonder if by 2030 (1) the internet will mostly consist of machine generated content; (2) machines written by normal people in Python won't be authorized to access the machine-generated content anymore due to Protectify; (3) most client traffic will originate from Protectify's network, so people like bloggers won't have any visibility into whether their readers are humans or machines; (4) video compression algorithms will become indistinguishable from deepfakes; and (5) airborne pathogens will make alternatives to the above impractical.
