I've always thought there should be a way to use the browser like a condom. It should obfuscate all the things that make a user uniquely identifiable. Mouse movement/clicks/typing cadence should be randomized and sanitized a bit. And no website should have any authority whatsoever to identify your extensions or other tabs, or even whether or not your tab is open. And it certainly shouldn't allow a website to overrule your right click functionality, or zoom, or other accessibility features.

The obfuscation makes you more easily identifiable.

I think their idea was that it would be in the browser everyone uses.

[Enginerrrd]

Exactly. My thought was this should be the default configuration in the browser.

How so?

you stand out when you obviously hide

[chii]

only if you are the only one doing the obfuscation.

It's why tor browser is set to a specific dimension (in terms of pixel size), have the same set of available fonts etc.

[klabb3]

And yet you still stand out if you use tor.

[chii]

yes, and it's because not enough people use tor-browser (i meant the browser, not the network).

But if privacy is truly the desired goal, the regular browser ought to behave just like tor-browser.
