Turn off javascript, that's your gold standard anti-fingerprinting.
- thotsBgone 6y agoNo
- kube-system 6y agoTwo problems with that: 1. Everybody uses js. If you have it turned off, you are in a very tiny group, and now you’re easier to track. Remember that js is not the only mechanism to fingerprint a user. 2. Much of the web does not work with js turned off.

- nalekberov 6y agoThere is no better way against fingerprinting than disabling js, you might be in a very tiny group, but tons of tracking scripts will fail to work, which means you will traceable by less parties. If a website forces me to use js in order to use it, I will question it, 98% of them is not worth it in my case. Remember js was invented to add websites dynamism, not to serve for surveillance capitalism. (Okay, Big corporations was involved in creation of js, but that does not constitute every action they take)
