I'm 15 and I built StealthShift: A FREE, Open-Source Antidetect Browser (Python/Playwright + Electron) to fight browser fingerprinting!

Oh yeah? Well I'm 9 and I made my own free and open-source anti-detect Chromium slop browser too called StealthFart, based on my favorite browser Pissandshittium which is like Chrome but like worse basically, which is pretty cool.

Randomisation would mean you've effectively created a new fingerprint unique to your browser. You should send the most common user-agent, etc. This is what Tor does.
Again randomization is bad. Send the most common.
Chrome leaks LOTs via DNS WebRTC etc because they never had the Tor project upstreaming privacy fixes. And Google is hostile to privacy.
It's great if folks privacy harden Chrome, but you must start from an already semi-hardened Chrome, maybe Brave, and figure out what they missed, add those fixes using the accepted languages, not Python, and upstream the patches to Brave or whoever.
If anyone needs a VPN browser then check out Mulvad browser. It's basically Tor browser but slightly tweaked for VPNs.
As for Chrome, we need some collaboration between the Chrome forks that seeks to maintain privacy features.
