that is what tor browser is recommending, but they refuse to bundle any ad blocker for different reasons which make sense. but I can't browse with ads, I need uBlockOrigin...

so my thoughts are, if you install any extension you become more unique among tor browser users, and you have same uniqueness for all pages/tabs you load.

what if you appear unique every time you load any page in any tab?

but I read it can even fake what extensions are installed, reducing fingerprinting, but maybe providing another vector? we'll see...

The problem I have with artificial environment is that humans (and all life on Earth) evolved in natural environment trough many many years. Can we be so certain that artificial environment (food, cosmetics, ...) are not triggering undesired response, body trying to adopt to synthetic materials, what would be the outcome? I'm thinking about cancer, auto immune disease and similar.

We only observe consequences and for some it might take a lot of time to show, but then it might be too late to fix, or, fix in a hurry could make it even worse.

I always ask myself, for example, how long it took giraffe to develop long neck, why, and so on. It didn't happened in 100 years, 3 - 4 generations.

How many food is now labeled "unhealthy" that was "healthy" few years back, or even medicine, this recent anti congestion in Sudafed (I think). There are examples everywhere.

We should be more humble and less arrogant when trying to understand complexity of nature and its processes.

I'm using it, if site breaks I usually check which calls it makes on extension UI and lower protection for that API (if it makes sense). It is suggested by FSF, but not sure why it is not more popular

can JShelter help, at least for computers? As I understand it can fake JS API data JShelter links
