It doesn't seem to render my results unless I whitelist JS in NoScript. Not very fair to force JS before saying if I'm unique IMHO.

- RonanTheGrey 8y agoBasically everything meaningful used for fingerprinting requires JS. If you don't have JS running, that's a signal, but a really weak one. About all they have after that is your useragent and IP address. Too bad most of the web isn't written to be without JS (or that we don't have stronger protections against fingerprinting, so it wouldn't matter....)

- RonanTheGrey 8y agoI know, it's a really crappy situation all around. I went and spent a few hours trying to see how to prevent fingerprinting and the answer is you basically can't. That sucks.
