>My browser was carefully containerized, with a ton of anti fingerprinting measures, VPN, Linux, Librewolf, everything

Doesn't that just make your browser very unique?

Yes. Its a fingerprinting paradox that the more you do to obfuscate the better they can pick you out of the crowd.

It is unique in a new way every page view.

  • It's way better to do that than hope that you've managed to cover every possible means of fingerprinting. When trying to make your fingerprint as common as possible it only takes a single consistent data point to identify you, and new techniques pop up all the time. TOR browser is a good example of what not to do.
