Wearing special anti-surveillance clothing because you want to make sure cameras can't identify you is the real life equivalent to installing ten privacy browser extensions because you want to make sure websites can't track you.
I've been thinking about this post all day and I still can't figure out what it means. Can you elaborate?
I think they are suggesting that having a large number specialised browser extensions actually increase the uniqueness of your browser fingerprint and thus make you stand out more. Similarly, wearing a specialised anti-id tech or material, they are suggesting, draws more attention to you?
Exactly:)
