You can reduce the [browser fingerprint](https://panopticlick.eff.org/about#browser-fingerprinting) of w3m by making it (the fingerprint) more like that of the Tor Browser Bunde (TBB) with JavaScript disabled. You can reduce the [browser fingerprint](https://panopticlick.eff.org/about#browser-fingerprinting) by applying the following changes to `~/.w3m/config` in any AppVM you want to use w3m in. (If you have not run w3m yet, you might need to copy the config file from elsewhere.) You can also apply the same changes to `/etc/w3m/config` in the relevant TemplateVM(s) to have them apply to multiple AppVMs; but make sure they are not reversed by the contents of `~/.w3m/config` in any of the AppVMs. (w3m reads `~/.w3m/config` after `/etc/w3m/config`).

By default w3m identifies itself as `w3m/` + version number. The user agent `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0` is the most common and the one used by the TBB. One in fourteen browsers finderprinted by Panopticlick has this value. By default w3m identifies itself as `w3m/` + version number.
