Here is something which can make your Web life 10X Private.

Did you know that no matter What extensions you install & how Fingerprint resisting, you make your browser to be. There is still no escape for Fingerprinting.

Just visit - https://deviceinfo.me & you will horrified to see every single thing about your Browser. (See mouse movement & keypress section)

So, what's the only way to make sure you don't get Fingerprinted?

Well, it's little inconvenient, but it gives astonishing results. That is -

1. Disable JavaScript in your browser by default. With uBlock origin or NoScript.
2. And only enable on sites, you have account or are tools like - Online file upload, temp mail services, Image converters, etc.
3. Keep it disabled on Article sites. Which articles you visit is the real thing which you should keep private.

From my past 6 months experience, 95% of those article sites, Github (no account), Forums (no account), work just fine without JS.

BUT What about site which don't work without JS?

Here is something which will help you in that 5% times.

Use services like archive.is to take a screenshot of that web article (which doens't load without JS). Thae screenshot is just image, which contains that web page completely without popus or any thing. Try out yourself with imgur.com .

Even more convenient, use a Recommend & Open Source Firefox extension, which make it even easier with support of lots of screenshot services.

---------

Only after disabling JS, you shall have real privacy. Every other work-round is just lie & deception.

-------- PERSONAL SETUP

1. I personally use Firefox with Arkenfox user.js & some custom rules. 2. And with extension called - Forget me not, which automatically deletes cookies & stuff after leaving websites. (you can just use Firefox's default clean features)
2. I also use uBlock origin on Hard Mode with 3rd part block by default & enable connections to the site as I visit them. 4. And adding a VPN on top of it hides your IP too.

Most people here do these things of cookies & ublock, but disabling JS is the most important part.
