Dont bind to IP or other browser fingerprinting.

For security and privacy, my IP address and browser fingerprint change every 60 seconds. Its so fucking annoying when I get false-positive logged out every minute "for my security"

I hesitate to ask, but, why do you have your IP change every minute? You seem to have a very atypical usecase

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

I was oversimplifying. So the user agent and other browser setting change every 60 seconds using the chameleon add-on.

The IP doesn't automaticallychanges, but I use a VPN. Often on shitty internet where packet loss routinely spikes to 30% (considered normal for most ISPs), I often have to disconnect and reconnect to the VPN, which causes the IP to change.
