Title. How many extensions would be the average to not be profiled? Obviously not having any or having 23 will make you pretty easy to fingerprint, so how many is the average or safest?

    Having more extensions makes your browser fingerprint more unique, making it easier to tell you apart from other users.

      i’m comprehending that much, but i don’t understand how extensions “announce” themselves to the websites (except for content blockers). does my browser send a number corresponding to the amount of extensions i have installed? or are they listed out individually by hash or name?
