Multilogin Vs Tails

Hey!
Let's see if someone can help me.

Is it even necessary to use multilogin when using the tails OS? As with each reboot, tails deletes everything.

I think it's useless (using multilogin) if you reset the OS in each reboot.

What do you think?

Useless..

Using tails doesn't mean you wont get fingerprinted. Things such as canvas, audio hardware and harware concurrency are commonly used which don't change no matter how many oses you hop or how many vms you use.

One concept of using Tails is to not reuse the same hardware. It is portable, by design. Depending on your security priorities, this may mean use burner laptops. For the level of operation Tails offers, an old $100-$200 laptop should suffice. Some public workstations still allow you to boot off of a USB, though this may get you into trouble. Also, there are so many public and open wireless networks out there you have few excuses to reuse them.

To answer the OP's question, maybe.

Tails OS is a great starting point for a security profile. Then, if you want to use Multilogin, go for it, however, just keep in mind it will add a lot of work to remain anonymous, as Multilogin is a paid service. I would recommend finding or setting up your own proxies/vpn's rather than paying for them. Also, even using services like multilogin or tools like Tails may be enough to identify specific traffic or even a user, so do not rely on one single layer of security to keep you safe.

Also, it is absolutely necessary to keep in mind that Tails OS will do it's job, but if you reuse accounts, or writing styles, or other online habits you will out yourself, or burn your own anonymity.

I would also advise anyone serious about remaining anonymous to have multiple Tails OS intances ready to go, as part of your basic kit.

Probably depends on your use case. I would argue that using Tails is more likely to trigger checkpoints on websites/social platforms, since very few legitimate users are using Tails. I think by virtue of using this OS, you will stick out like a sore thumb.

If your use case is to simply browse the web anonymously then I think Tails will be just fine. However, if you have a business use case that depends on a website not being able to identify your hardware, you might be better off using a purpose built application like Multilogin or Kameleo.
