Or what do you use them for? Isn’t it now quite easy for websites to track outside of just cookies?

    Honestly you’re pretty spot on. I use the fingerprinting setup you use except I opt for NoScript and use Librewolf. You can also enable letterboxing in about:config to prevent screen resolution/aspect fingerprints.

    I keep Noscript off usually, but if I’m browsing sites I don’t know or frequent I turn it on for the added security. For anyone aware, turning off Javascript does increase your fingerprintability, but also makes you much harder to target via cross site scripting or through trackers from outside sites (e.g. google, facebook, etc.).

    Also, very interesting info on I2P. I’ve never looked into it, but it seems like an interesting concept

      Ah ok, I am on the right track!

      Yeah I used to run librewolf with all that and NoScript, but I just couldn’t figure out how come up with some kind of NoScript config that would actually do security and also be generally usable at the same time.

      The letterboxing thing is another good point worth mentioning.

      Lately, I’m trying out waterfox with basically the setup I described above.

      And yeah, I2P is very neat imo, check it out! =D
