         | technology professionally, I already understand almost
         | everything in the article (that I read), and I'm not sure what
         | you are recommending - Tor? Apple's proxy service (whatever
         | they call it)? I think Brave offers something now? Firefox VPN?
         | 
         | Also, another reason "even the best system provides only
         | limited protection" is that there are many other ways to track
         | people. I know the article is about IP addresses, but a non-
         | technical reader might not grasp that IPs are only one piece of
         | a larger puzzle.
