Yeah, this was the only thing that stopped fingerprint.com from being able to track across multiple private sessions for me on my desktop. And absolutely nothing will stop it on an iPhone.

EDIT: Also wanted to add that for some reason it screws up the hot keys in RES on Reddit so you can't do Go->All (G, opt-A) because it stops returning exactly what keyboard you have available or something?
