Kid, you're stepping all over your own points. Your own words were also "...the use of NAT and NAPT which provided a certain amount of privacy."

You missed the point about privacy extensions in IPv6.

Either way, you've made no point that suggests IPv6 is any better or worse than IPv4 in regards to privacy. It's also not the point or function of IPv4 or IPv6. Your original comment about IPv6 being a privacy nightmare has no basis in reality.

Its true something that can track your device across multiple locations where you connect is a privacy nightmare make your own search you'll be surprise

I'm sorry, you need to go learn a bit about the IP stack and really try hard to not spread misinformation. That was the whole point of why I replied - you're making claims you just can't back up with any kind of reasonable argument.

You're being tracked while on IPv4 as it is, so please, stop with any claims that IPvWhatever is going to be any better or worse for you in this regard.
