    Is there a way to generate fake user activity data to feed to Firefox or stripped down versions of firefox ?
    So that the data is useless for anyone buying it. Furthermore fake browsing data also messes up data collection by websites.

      You’re probably just better going with a fork of FF that has all that nonsense stripped out.

      maybe with anti-detection browser, there are with free-bee version, dont know if that will help . which basically lets you use proxies as well, and spoofs your fingerprinting. people who made of accts, or advertise on reddit uses these to evade reddit ban(until reddit made it harder to do so currently)
