Hello everyone! I saw that disabling JavaScript was good to prevent fingerprinting. However, something’s holding me up from doing so: since only a minority of the Internet users block it, won’t it make me more easy to identify?

Even if it’s harder to load trackers or fingerprinting scripts, what if one manage to load? Will the fact that I disabled JavaScript make me more “unique” ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yeah, people don’t seem to realize that their technical solutions don’t matter.

    Tracking and privacy is a problem that can only be solved through legislation and legal means. Big companies have more resources and can work around any technical hurdle you throw up.

    Like they don’t even have to work around them technically… Oh you like the encrypted messenger? It would be a shame if they were able to make it useless by convincing everyone to just use their DM system leaving no one on your encrypted messaging network to talk to, wouldn’t it?
