"Does using an anonymity proxy actually hide your identity?"

Hey everyone, been thinking about this lately. So like, if I use an anonymity proxy, am I *really* hidden? Or is it just a false sense of security?

I get that it masks my IP, but what about cookies, browser fingerprints, or even DNS leaks? Feels like there’s way more to it than just flipping on a proxy and calling it a day.

And what if the proxy itself logs data? Heard some free ones sell your info lol.

Kinda curious—anyone here actually tested how well an anonymity proxy holds up under scrutiny? Or am I just being paranoid?

Thanks!
