Your average person only cares about their privacy and security to the point it clashes with their convenience. They will happily trade their security to make their life a little easier, even if in the long run it cost them way more money.
They will let us small fry think we have the illusion of privacy with our vpns, anti-fingerprint browsers and de-googled phones but the reality is, we’re trapped by the whims of a society that LOVES being told what to do so they don’t have to think for themselves.
Tor and Mullvad to a lesser extent don’t try to erase all fingerprints. They try to normalize the ones that can’t be hidden. So your fingerprints will be randomized within a pool of choices and everyone using Tor or Mullvad shares the same pool. So instead of trying to disappear, you try to blend into the crowd. They can see you, they just can’t tell you apart from the person next to you because your browsers are all broadcasting the same information.
