Hi,
is it possible with privoxy to suppress or modify some critical browser 
fingerprints to prevent a unique identification of the user/machine ?

The following site analyses the browser fingerprints and tells which
of the data can be used to uniquely identify a person or his system:
https://amiunique.org/fp
(the above site is referenced in this article: 
https://askleo.com/supercookies_and_evercookies/ )

In my case it says for example the following:
"
Media devices 	Unique
audioinput : default
audioinput : 2da75f....  (a 64 characters long hex number, maybe a hash)
...
audiooutput : default
audiooutput : 91f17d...  (a 64 characters long hex number, maybe a hash)
...
"

Of course these numbers can be used as static identifiers, so IMO one should 
be concerned.

Is it in privoxy possible to suppress the sending of this (and similar) 
information, or sending a fake or random string instead?
