Could you translate that into English for those of us who are not well versed in IPv6? My understanding is that part of your IPv6 address is fixed from your MAC, so if I travel around with my laptop, Google could tell it is the same device connecting via IPv6 from anywhere in the world? Is that not the case?
That is honestly one of my bigger concerns with IPv6, is making it easier for Google and everyone else to do their tracking with no way of disabling it.
I still think IPv6 was over-engineered with silly decisions like going to 128 bit addresses when 64 bits would have been far more than were needed that is mainly responsible for its low adoption rate. If they just made IPv5 largely like IPv4 except with more address space we would have transitioned long ago, and then we would have had time to think about what is really needed for a truly next generation system without the push to implement it because we're running out of addresses.
