    Really?

    No.

    It’s been this way for a while. At best, you can use some techniques to provide plausible deniability from a legal perspective.

    Not that laws matter anymore.

    The best you can do is try to blend in.

      I don’t understand why this should be inherently impossible. If you buy a separate device, and use that exclusively for one thing and do not cross-contaminate, that should work to avoid fingerprinting right? And this is all information that your computer is voluntarily providing, and is I assume possible to change independently from the hardware. So why not?

        The way and what you type, how you move your mouse, when you browse…

        Think we can make things more difficult, but just assume tracked everywhere. Won’t know about browser privacy 0days either for who knows how long.

        Some stuff has to be reported accurately for stuff to work well, like screen size. Other stuff can be and is faked, even by Apple out of the box I’m pretty sure.

        Not my area of expertise :)

          Ah yes, CSS, the famously serverside technology

            CDNs serve different sizes accordingly I thought? Sometimes. Deliver pages faster without noticeable image compression. Don’t some large sites do this all the time? Based on viewport size
