What would help against modern browser fingerprinting technologies?
What about a disposable VM in Qubes OS?
Sounds like all the fingerprinters would build up a profile of the one person running Qubes from your IP.

Yeah there's something fishy going on for this to shoot to the number one position so quickly. I hope dang looks into it if he can.
I don't know how crazy we're talking about here, but I just wanted to point out that Reddit has been doing a lot of anti-privacy crap in the last few weeks and just a couple of days ago, there was a post which got to the frontpage, originating from multiple subreddits as well, and that post pointed a lot of this shit out and also quoted the Reddit CEO talking down on users like you'd expect it from Mark Zuckerberg.
Here's the post, in case you want to read it yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/4ll9tc/it_looks_li...
In other words, maybe these upvotes are legitimate and there's just a big portion of really pissed off Reddit users here...

I looked at the vote data and didn't see anything fishy. My guess is that it shot up because people love smoking gun posts and Reddit is always a popular topic. Then it got heavily flagged and plummeted to the depths.

There has to be a term for this kind of pseudo-intellectual, anti-establishment contrarian paranoia that crops up every now and then...
There has to be a term for putting empty labels on something in attempt to try to make it false. Calling something 'pseudo-intellectual' or 'paranoia' say absolutely nothing about the statement. It says that you are not able to form clear arguments and instead resort to negative labels.
Pseudo-intellectual I mean to be a position taken for the sake of having a prepared argument, without understanding the reasons for holding the position (or it's opposite).
Paranoid I mean to be an unjustified concern for the actions of others, in this case Reddit.
I don't personally care if you don't think much of me, but I do want people to consider your view for what it actually is -- unrelated to the topic at hand.
