Once you did this, you should be able to run the following inside your terminal:
```sh

[ssl_version_number] => 0
[ssl_version] => NSS/3.92

It's very hacky, yes thank you for noticing. There's also the option of using the [forked project](https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate), but that garbage doesn't support NSS. I'm kind of against impersonating chrome cause you never know when Google is gonna add more fingerprinting bullshit.

```
sudo apt remove curl
