That's a pretty good idea actually. I'll first try an actual extension to see if it will truly be as bad as you describe, and if it will be, I'll just make a wedge. Thanks!

Yup, in 2015, more or less, from what I remember reading the Wikipedia page. Got superceded by bunsenlabs, like notthebees said.

I know the pain. Before I found a very obscure device fingerprint I could do a little spoofing with, I basically had to search the web like once a month for something that would let me bypass PIAPI again. It was exhausting.

Ironically enough soon after I found that obscure fingerprint I switched to paying with my credit card instead of my phone since my banking app couldn't let me turn on contactless payments with my phone for whatever reason.

Yep, that's how they work on my T440. It's quite convenient even if I don't trust them to stay in at times (one managed to fall out already)

It CAN get pretty wild sometimes, though. For example, Flameshot (screenshotting utility) is only ~560KB as a system package, while its flatpak version is ~1.4GB (almost 2.5k times as big)
