The problem is that it is not an user friendly solution. It will only help those people who do have several OS running or are capable of understanding.

The privacy settings that do not work were pretty good hidden already and many are scared away already. This second level is even worse.

What we need is a simple tool where you set check boxes to fix it all. That would be a solution for the target audience.

Well in the case of the Tor or VPN users, I suspect most of them are probably not the typical user you're implying, and at least have some IT skill.

In the case of other users, I'm not sure because I do not fully understand it, but it seems like this would not be necessary?

I'm sure if they could easily decide whats necessary, many would secure themselves.
