Another compelling reason to have JS disabled by default. If you need to browse those sites listed on the page, consider having a dedicated laptop that would have a specific fingerprint separate from the machine you would do most of your daily browsing on, and compartment away those sites that are known to track you across the web.
I actually rarely have to enable JS on pages now. Most JS-only sites can be find in places like https://news.ycombinator.com/show https://news.ycombinator.com/show where people showcase JS-only sites / apps. Most are innocuous enough and are not trying to track you though, so I sometimes turn on JS just to test them out. I have a dedicated laptop for Youtube, Reddit etc. I'm well aware that sites like Reddit track you via JS, so I compartment / silo sites like that with a dedicated machine.

- cyberlab 5y ago> when you can do network level fingerprinting Which can be addressed with a VPN. By insulating an IP away from other IPs you can stop IP correlation.
- v8dev123 5y agoNetwork level fingerprinting has nothing to do with IPs. It works by using protocol artifacts. But VPN do migrate the problem.
