Chosen solution

What do you mean by generic -- matching lots of other people so you blend in?

Fingerprinting is a method of combining numerous data points from your browser/device -- from Android and browser version to functional capability to display size -- in an attempt to uniquely ID your browser. You can look at fingerprinting sites for more information. But there's not a simple way to override all of those elements, many of them are beyond your control.
