I had to edit the post you answered here, for accuracy. Cloudflare on kbin.earth isn't having it, for anything. I checked the box to prove I'm human a dozen times, with .js and cookies enabled, and the whole shebang just noped. 😋

The paradox is that your traffic is so unique that it can be compared to traffic captured from other websites you've visited and be used to build a profile around your commonly visited websites and current interests.

That fingerprint is then sold to brokers that forward to websites that will serve targeted content to your fingerprint when you do happen to show up. It doesn't necessarily care what your identity is just that you have an identity.

One out of 119k.

Edit: but yes, I am satisfied. I just need to know how to do settings so .js IS enabled but also not so evil (and I doubt it's possible), as well as just general functionality with privacy, if that's even possible.

For me my fingerprint is unique, but the advertisers list was empty so yeah, it’s pretty pointless when you have Adblock at a dns level. You can be identified by first party sites, but that requires visiting every advertisers site to actually get them to fingerprint you. Otherwise your data won’t and can’t be sold realistically.

I'm 1 in 166 million lol, I think I'm easy to track, however a lot of the data is wrong so not sure how to feel

Imagine enough data was random that it was always unique. Never duplicate.

Or if that’s some kind of issue, then instead allowing the user to randomize their fingerprints by click of button. Surely there’s some kind of spoofing, virtualization, something that browsers can do to effectively “randomize” the measured fingerprint by third parties.
