- tinus_hn 5y agoIn a world where browser fingerprinting doesn’t exist this is a great solution.
- trangus_1985 5y agobrowser fingerprinting hasn't been deployed in the wild, and I use the firefox built in anti-fingerprinting as well as extensive privacy protecting extensions. Of course, that's not perfect. On the other hand, it took 30% of people using adblock for anti-adblock measures to be enforced. I have yet to see practical, wide spread fingerprinting be deployed (although I don't doubt it's out there). Self Deleting Cookies are, of course, one component of online privacy. Sadly.
