Yeah, I think there are two problems. One issue is that they profile users both for ads and manipulative algorithmic content, and I’d like them to profile me incorrectly in most cases (except like they are less likely to try to sell people on linux things, that’s a great thing I’d like to keep in the profile). The other issue is that they follow individual users using this fingerprinting, again this can be used both to sell things and to manipulate, but it’s a tad creepier since it tracks how you’re unique even compared to people superficially similar to you.
Ideally, I’d like some extension where I can look at values and either keep them, set them, or randomize them.
