Hy,

If I use a Virtual Machine is will look like for social media sites I'm on another PC?
Beside the IP address of course.
Thanks!

Yes. VM is great way to sandbox footprints.

You may have already thought of this, but keep in mind that if you're running multiple copies of the same VM, especially on the same hardware, your fingerprints will be the same.

The biggest issue will be your VM could have a virtualized card easily detectable by normal browsers. That will be a big fingerprint.

VmWare example:

That's a good point. You might google canvas fingerprinting op. To give you an idea of what fingerprinting techniques are possible.

Yeah I went through a period of experimentation with this and although the footprint does indeed get sandboxed, there are too many other "tells" that show you are using a VM that are instant red flags for most advanced detection platforms. Ie even if they can't tell "who" you are, they know you're up to something.
