Thanks for the very detailed response, and I spoof the system and the browser with the extension. It does work, with sites as they do think I am on a different browser and different operation system, but as you stated above it make me super unique. I can tell you are very smarting than I am and I will just have to take your word for it.

It has been listed on many sites about it being a essential, also there has been nothing but good about the addon, here is one review from alternativeto.net

Once again, thanks for that response @Thorin-Oakenpants 👍

Thank you again @Thorin-Oakenpants, I think we can close this.

It won't even fully hide your version. It can't even totally hide the Firefox release channel. No extension can. Not even Tor Browser can. @Mikaela knows what I'm talking about, right MIkaela (ssssh, don't tell)?

In the intersts of transparency I have to say that I believe you are talking about TorZillaPrint which with I understand you to be affiliated with.
