Web fingerprinting is worse than I thought
Ha!  I followed the instructions and went to fingerprint.com and it all &#x27;crashed&#x27; because I had JavaScript turned off—that&#x27;s my normal default setting.<p>I have five different browsers on my smartphone and three on the PC all sans JS and none of them are Chrome. Also, normal operation is to automatically delete all cookies at session&#x27;s end.<p>My smartphone and PCs are de-googleized and firewalled and I never see ads in my browsers nor in apps. The apps are mainly from F-Droid and sans ads and the few Playstore ones I use are via Aurora Store and are firewalled from the internet when in use. Honestly, I cannot remember when I last saw an app display an ad, it has to be years back.<p>In the past I used to go to more extensive measures to stop the spying but I found it was unnecessary as the spy leakage was essentially negligible with much less stringent efforts.<p>It&#x27;s pretty easy to render one&#x27;s online personal data essentially wothlesss if one wants to. On the other hand if you insist on using JS, Gmail, Google search, Facebook etc. then you&#x27;re fair game and you only have yourself to blame if your personal data is stolen.
