Read this, did it, felt vaguely appalled.
But: seems to me that if you do something unusual (turn off JS, use weird and wonderful browser, hide browser stuff from The Internet) then you make yourself even "more unique". Turning JS off still doesn't really help - and more to the point makes the modern web basically unusable.
I ended up with: meh, nothing anyone can do, why worry?

Turning JS off makes the modern web much more usable! Regarding "uniqueness", if you browse from a fixed IP address then you are unique anyway and your browser fingerprint does not really matter.
- oneeyedpigeon 7y agoDo you have a good example of a reasonably high profile site that is unusable without js? One option (I know this sounds like a lot of work!) would be to disable js and whitelist only those sites you trust not to track you, that require js to be usable.
