we’re carving a space for companies to safely share

To be fair, it's no safer than being GPL etc. in that any license is only as useful as your ability to enforce it in court. For a bad actor, whether they violate a fair source license vs a GPL likely isn't much of a concern at all.

What is a "shared unique similarity"? Sounds a lot like something that isn't unique to me...

Just because someone chooses not to be a privacy advocate, I don't think that means it is universally accepted that they are "freeloading".

Usually the people who I see make these kinds of arguments are the ones that don't participate in normal society and live in a bubble, and pretend capitalism isn't necessary for most people to live their lives.

Tails is an operating system

Yes, and it comes with Tor Browser, which normally does not spoof your OS when probed via javascript (only the user-agent), that is why I asked if you had a patch to the source code, which is what they would have to be using in order to do what you're saying.

All of them report your operating system to be Windows

As it stands, I am not able to verify your claims, as Tor Browser on Tails 6.7 is still showing the true OS via javascript queries for me:

It's actually worse than that... he influenced them.

His screeds against Jewish people became so well-known at home and abroad that he is the only American whom Adolf Hitler compliments by name in Mein Kampf.

Are you saying Tails has a custom fork of TBB that spoofs the OS? Do you have a link to that patch?

Right, even the most secure/private browser cannot help opsec failures... if only one person visits the same website(s) at the same time every day, you are not anonymous. But we all must define our own threat models and apply what's realistic for us individually.

I would be very careful about saying Tor/Mullvad/Brave are anywhere near approaching k-anonymity... Tor Browser cannot even hide your real OS when queried from javascript, and there are current ways to detect all of those browsers independently.

I think one problem is that most people's (general non-tech population) browser setups are completely bone-stock, and so by definition "random like everyone else" is likely already excluding all the stock users and placing you in a much smaller box to compare against.

How have I never heard about this one?

Just FYI You would have to be using the same exact browser configuration you normally browse with, otherwise the fingerprint it has will be different.

I struggle to call this actually "unlisted" since (if I understand correctly) anyone who knows the repo URL can see the list of branches.
