    In these discussions, it’s worth distinguishing between “reducing the size of your fingerprint” (reducing data collection, e.g. by blocking trackers) and “reducing the likelihood of connecting your footprint to an identity” (fingerprinting avoidance). Customization, extensions, adblocking, etc. are antithetical to the latter but useful to the former.

      I still think enumerating badness (eg. blocking trackers) is not a final solution. it’s nice to have, but it should be only an initial level of protection.

      also, strict mode blocks known fping scripts so arguably you don’t need extensions for that, a nice plus :-)
