I have to wonder if anti-fingerprinting is the wrong approach to privacy invading advertising. There’s an inherent asymmetry between the resources available to those who build these systems and those who try to stop them.
I’d love to see more stuff like CCPA. As a California resident I can simply tell Google that my data is not for sale, and they’re obligated to respect that regardless of what fingerprinting happens.
This isn’t an ideal solution, but the whole issue of privacy seems like a people/politics problem we keep trying to solve with technology.
