Imagine enough data was random that it was always unique. Never duplicate.

Or if that’s some kind of issue, then instead allowing the user to randomize their fingerprints by click of button. Surely there’s some kind of spoofing, virtualization, something that browsers can do to effectively “randomize” the measured fingerprint by third parties.

I use Fake Traveler to spoof location sometimes. I sometimes do this while shopping for various travel things that are affected by region... If you catch my drift.
