    Still, browser fingerprints are most commonly used and spoofing them seems counterproductive. If the goal is to maximize confusion about users interests and search history it should mimic actual users’ behavior as closely as possible.

        ahh, sorry what I meant is that the app shouldn’t randomize identifiers, such as browser fingerprints or even cookies, because the goal is to make the noise associated with the user’s profile, otherwise it’s just random requests and it becomes pointless.

          Yeah… I think we are disagreeing here, and I don’t fully understand your point, or your point is wrong from my point of view :) ✌️
