[Freedombox-discuss] How efficient is the freedombox privoxy?

[Rick]

I remember this site, or one like it.

I seem to be unique as well, which is a bad thing.

*Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 3,317,711 tested
so far.*

*Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at
least 21.66 bits of identifying information.*

*The measurements we used to obtain this result are listed below. You can
read more about our methodology, statistical results, and some defenses
against fingerprinting in this
