it should probably link to this: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/exit-ip-fingerprinting-between-v...

which is the blog post, rather than a list of exit servers

If you us Mullvad browser, which has built in Mullvad proxies, this isn't an issue because it doesn't use wireguard.

The browser also has a cool feature in the browser extension called Random mode. This gives you a different IP for each site, improving your privacy.

I'd really like some version of E.G. Librewolf configured to spoof the exact SAME information no matter who's using it. Like standard resolution for a 1080p monitor, the same GPU profile, Allow device timing stuff to work but with a fixed profile etc.

Effectively, stop spoofing random data, start spoofing still useful but not for finger printing data.

Do VPNs pay retail ISPs for exit points?

Is this at all related to Wyden's recent congressional warning? Are any other VPN providers speaking up on this?
