Yes, I forgot about SLAAC and worthless privacy extensions.

Privacy extensions are worthless because there are just sooooo many ways to fingerprint and track you. If you are not at least using a VPN and a jailed privacy mode browser at a bare minimum, you are toast. If you’re serious about privacy you have to use stuff like Tor.

V6 privacy extensions are like the GDPR cookie nonsense: ineffective countermeasures with annoying side effects.

SLAAC sucks too. They should have left assignment up to admins or higher level protocols like with V4. It’s better that way.
