Are Random User Agents Still Effective for Web Scraping and Privacy? or How Do You Generate and Use R

imo random user agents are kinda outdated if used solo. Sites detect inconsistencies—like if your UA says Chrome but your JS APIs scream Firefox.

Tools like Selenium Wire or Scrapy with middlewares help, but you gotta balance headers + IPs + request timing.

For privacy, nah—fingerprinting kills it. Try Brave with strict shields or Firefox + ResistFingerprinting.
