Fantastic link, I need to do better than I am. I appreciate you sharing this.
For what it's worth protecting against fingerprinting is pretty hard, so don't feel bad if it tells you your browser has a unique fingerprint. For most people (if you're using Firefox) going to the settings and turning on strict tracking protection and "Do Not Track" set to always send is good enough and will probably stop most attempts by blocking domains that will try fingerprinting. And use Ublock Origin, people.
I use Firefox and Ublock, I'll do the do not track now!
Yep. I have a blanket "block all Facebook" rule. A lot harder to gather info if your browser refuses to load data and scripts coming from their domains.
