Using an anonymity proxy is just the first step, but it’s far from foolproof. Like you said, IP masking alone won’t cut it.
Browser fingerprints are a huge giveaway—sites can still track you based on your screen resolution, fonts, even your timezone. Tools like Panopticlick (by EFF) can show how unique your browser is.
For better privacy, combine the proxy with Tor or a VPN. And yeah, avoid free proxies—they’re sketchy as hell. Some even inject ads or malware.
