I recommend ublock origin. When I checked with the disclosure page (give me everything you have on me), after disabling ublock origin for that page, it said they had nothing on me. The truth of that statement is debatable, but it seems to be effective.

A good adblocker and using this tool on all of your devices: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 Its difficult to actually opt out in full, but we will definitely get to that point in the future. Also if you use niche hardware/software (like netscape on an old linux distro) you're data will just get cleansed out. Nobody does fingerprinting unless you're a spy or in charge of purchasing for a hospital or something, so I wouldn't worry about that.

  > Nobody does fingerprinting ... so I wouldn't worry about that. I'm not sure how long you've been out, but this has changed a lot recently. Many adtech companies (not us) have responded to ITP by building out fingerprinting to continue personalization. (Disclosure: I work on ads at Google)

    Yeah that makes sense. As far as I was aware only the low-tier dmp/cross-device/measurement vendors did, but all the top tier dsps vetted their vendors and don't allow that.
