The more things you block, the more unique and fingerprintable you become. Blocking JavaScript altogether may mitigate some of that, but you can be fingerprinted even without JS.
Tor is a little better because they make your browser blend pretty well with other Tor browsers, so instead of being unique 1 of 1 you’re more like 1 out of all Tor users.
I haven’t looked into this in a couple years, but that is my takeaway last time I went down the privacy/fingerprint rabbit hole.
But you have a Daddy and Mommy who love you!
And, a Windows Home Server! Does that make you happy?
They had me until windows
I have absolutely no idea what any of that is after tor. I have heard of i2p but I forget
I guess fires are woke now cause of climate change
Interesting. I run a Threadiverse client on iOS and Android. I haven’t run into any issues with Google, yet.
Apple has this rule I had to comply with:
I get the sense Apple wrote these rules to improve user experience, and they’re applied without anyone really considering what effect they’re having on the UX.

Feature requests are welcome!
And from my friends in the Zip team
Is getting an ONT with Ethernet output normal? The comments were making me think that’s more of best case but maybe not standard.
I kinda hate Verizon, but I didn’t realize there were these other gotcha that I’m avoiding by using Fios hardware. The hardware itself has actually been pretty good. I can’t imagine paying for internet and not being able to just plug in my own router.
You obviously forgot to put blood in your door
Probably driving in the bike lane
Contribute to open source more. Currently work dictates the projects I work on, but would love to have passion be the only thing guiding me.
Probably a second cast iron skillet
My partner is a professional musician and maybe this would finally get me to convince her to join Lemmy
Happy cake day! Celebrate with a drink
So thats how ice scream is made!
I was referring to OP’s post because they mentioned “candidates”. I was also agreeing with your comment regarding progressive enhancement lol
You understand if most people stopped using JavaScript they would just find other ways to serve you ads, right? You can already be tracked without JavaScript.
I don’t understand why we are blaming the stealing info part on JavaScript and not the tech industry. Here is an article on how you can be tracked (fingerprinted) even with JavaScript disabled. As for slow websites, also blame the tech industry for prioritizing their bottom line over UX and not investing in good engineering.
A VPN doesn’t alter the requests your browser is making. It just masks your IP address. So any information about your browser is still sent. The exception would be if your VPN provides some sort of tracker/ad blocking feature where it can block certain requests. But it’s not really a magic switch that prevents websites from tracking you.
