My friend who works in an adtech company:
"Protip: Use Firefox instead of Chrome. We get very little data from Firefox users"
Protip #2, for what cant be traced using conventional methods, they will use fingerprinting and those add-ons take care about most common methods of fingerprinting - canvas, webgl, fonts and audio:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/canvas-finger...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webgl-fingerp...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/font-fingerpr...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/audioctx-fing...
I would really love to have more addins like this, doing one thing and doing it good. They will kill fingerprinting and as a proof, I was downvoted the next moment i posted the links in another post but I want you to know there is a way out.
Firefox already includes many of these, some of those plugins are redundant or unnecessary.
> already includes many of these
Make sure you turn them on though!
Firefox by default doesn't block canvas fingerprinting, that's a setting you need to enable in `about:config` under the `privacy.resistFingerprinting` section.
Why aren't they on by default? What's the downside?
Google bullies you with Captchas if you have `privacy.resistFingerprinting` on.
