I went on amiunique.com, and it says that I'm unique.

Lowest scores: list of fonts JS (0.01%), canvas (0.00%), media devices (0.00%), user agent (0.11%), and audio data (0.80%)

I use Linux Mint Debian edition, Librewolf browser, and Mullvad VPN. How do I become less unique?

I was thinking Edge becaudse that comes stock with every new system you buy; Chrome is something you have to install proactively. But yeah, you're probably right. You eith look anonymous because your system looks generic, or you have some small degree of privacy without anonymity. It's a shitty choice to make.
