As soon as we switch to IPv6, that's true.
We will need to change our IPv6 addresses, not stick with the same one.
But for now, I often share
(at the same time) a single IPv4 address with various people.
In the same computer? In different computers?
The idea is to completely give up on the idea of "blending into the
mass", since header-finger-printing lets them distinguish individuals
among the mass anyway. So instead your user-agent string will be unique
(instead of common), but you'll never reuse the same one.
I am not convinced. If they can tell it's always you, from your IP,
the fact that your header data changes in a specific would only
identify which browser you use. To use a header string that blends in
is the only way.
