The Picard Maneuver
TokenBoomeruBlock Origin and JShelter disagree.
Additionally one could improve that further by using a VPN
If you wanna be extreme you could also just use the Tor Browser
LinkOpensChest.wavExcept sites deliberately break themselves if they can’t harvest your data. You can’t even browse reddit on Tor anymore.
Even merely using Fennec on my phone, I encounter shopping sites where I actually plan to spend money refuse to work because they can’t recognize “my device.” Or they refuse to sell me products where I live if I’m using a VPN. Creepy-ass behavior.
I suppose the only way out is through, and we should simply refuse to use sites that are designed in such a way, but it feels like a losing battle.
milkytoastWhat do you consider the other two big ones? Auto Zone and NAPA?
Just curious because there are so many auto parts stores where I live
auto one and O'Reilly
forgot that Napa even exits lol
Anony MooseCanvas Fingerprinting
Canvas fingerprinting is a tracking method that uses HTML5 Canvas code to generate a unique identifier for each individual user. The method is based on the fact that the unique pixels generated through Canvas code can vary depending on the system and browser used, making it possible to identify users.
There’s so many more tricks to identify you, check out browserleaks.com
It’s honestly scary how easy it is to fingerprint you
Browserleaks - Check your browser for privacy leaks
BrowserLeaks is a suite of tools that offers a range of tests to evaluate the security and privacy of your web browser. These tests focus on identifying ways in which websites may leak your real IP address, collect information about your device, and perform a browser fingerprinting.

Yeah, 💯. Of course, if we resist fingerprinting too much, we make ourselves have a unique fingerprint again 😁 I assume some of the tools you’ve mentioned randomize the fingerprint instead of just hiding it?
Didn’t click your link,
Haha, no worries!

According to Arkenfox user.js the Canvas Fingerprint randomization is caused by Firefoxs Resist Fingerprinting

Yeah, that’s why Tor Browser has such strong privacy. You blend into the rrowd because everyone’s resistance is the same :)

Nice, I should make sure I have FF’s fingerprint resistance on.

Yeah, hopefully more and more people start putting up strong privacy walls, so there’s more of a crowd to blend with!

bruhduh
Oha
RustyNovaI wouldn’t recommend deleting all cookies all the time. While true, it does make more private, but relogin into all the sites all the time is a pain.
While while listing is good, I’d recommend a separate “burner” profile that essentially reset itself on closure, with all the privacy options activated. Then, you can have a second profile you can use when you need to be logged in.
I literally have librewolf open on profile switching so I can easily have my reinforced profile ready to go.
Killercat103Password manager with FaceID = no problemo
I’m sure someone will find a way to shit on that too, though.
