On the internet, it’s easy to feel anonymous. If you don’t log in, no one can see who you are; you can even switch to incognito mode. The more savvy user would say that’s not really enough. To be anonymous, you need to clear your cookies and use a privacy-oriented browser.
But new research shows even that doesn’t work anymore. Websites are still tracking you — silently, persistently, and without your consent — by reading your browser’s unique “fingerprint.”
NoScript
It will be annoying to use AT FIRST. One you have it set up for all your sites it won’t be so bad.
No script cannot protect u from on websites which require js for work and thus it cannot protect u from creepjs things and so it required to spoof everything from resolution to os fingerprints
Yes, but it blocks many external scripts from running in the first plce. Like, a LOT. Some websites try to pull from 20 external sites when only one or two are needed to run the site’s functionality. You get fine control, and also get the no-JS experience first.
