I can see this as an argument for avoiding unusual properties, but how can they identify you using random properties? Even if it is just one user doing this how can they match the fingerprints?

Also, its unusual enough that its unlikely they will bother trying.

The fact that the properties are randomized (and which properties are randomized) identifies the extension that you’re using, and if that extension has like 10 users, that uniquely identifies you across sites.

All of this is overkill anyway unless you actually think you’re up against a determined actor targeting you personally. If you are, they will bother trying.
