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!
Can’t review code if you don’t know how to. Are we meant to throw the source into AI and go, “hey is this safe”? While it may work, the time and effort sometimes isn’t. It’s literally being stuck between a rock and a hard place, so-to-speak. And before anyone says, “well, you should learn code”, I hear you. All due respect to those that can, I’m not taking the time because I don’t have time. I’m surviving from high gas prices, high grocery prices, higher bills (with for-profit companies reporting their best ever profits YOY), and keeping afloat. “Ain’t nobody got time fo dat.”
Anyone who knows the first thing about web dev knows this is pointless. The scripts are minified and mangled so far it’s impossible to suss out what they do without hours and hours of deobfuscation per script, and it can often be hundreds of scripts. The only thing you can do is use blockers. They don’t try to understand what the script does, they operate by blocking known stuff and known bad origins.
