MODERATORS
A browser can be fingerprinted so I only use it in a separate OS install when I want to keep something private, but it's indispensable so that I have that option.
It can, but it isn't likely as specific as an ip is.
My view is that security/privacy is a sliding rule and that every little effort helps.
Browser fingerprinting is quite specific.
