Randomized = unique, unless it is done ”smartly” by setting some very very common combo. Or unless it randomizes for every page load (which I recon would mess up many site functions, window width/height for example). And if there is not that many users having this on you shine like a beacon again as ”that randomizer guy”.

I mean it’s somewhere between what both of you are saying. I imagine “randomized” means a random common “fingerprint” (with parameters like user agent, language, etc) rather than just a unique set of randomized parameters (say, time zone in US but language set to Farsi which would be unique to an extent).

I mean “unique” can be static. “Randomized” means it’s constantly changing.
