PSA: Stop Browser fingerprinting
submitted 3 years ago by carn0ld03 from self.technology
This may be obvious for most. Use a VPN, AdBlock Plus, etc, but thought I'd share for those who don't know how else they can be tracked. In short best thing is to disable Javascript. Combined with other blockers and VPN and you reduce your fingerprint quite a bit.

Fuck me, why the fuck is javascript telling the world how many CPU cores I have and my video card model? "List of plugins" too, Jesus.

Good post.
I have to say though that VPNs are mostly compromised bottlenecks that have access to all your information if you use them, I don't think a VPN helps at all in practice because of who owns most VPNs. They collect and sell your data just like facebook, but it's even worse because they have access to every packet of information you've ever sent or received.
