    Even then, most tracking is done through fingerprinting.

      Yeah it makes me laugh when people talk about “don’t use cookies” or “block ads” like companies didn’t switch to more advanced techniques (like hell, I saw a paper where they could fingerprint you just simply by how you interact with the webpage) 15 years ago

        Well “block ads” is also shorthand for “block as many 3rd-party requests as possible while maintaining the desired content” which absolutely improves your privacy and prevents a lot of fingerprinting scripts from ever loading.
