very hard to circumvate fingerprinting, I use noscript for that

[-] swayevenly@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

What are your settings for noscript? This test won't complete after installing it.

[-] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

You have to enable the scripts for the page and leave everything else blocked

It's a bit of manual work. Trial and error with just first party scripts, then add specific capabilities to scripts one-by-one

[-] swayevenly@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Best I get is with canvasblocker--without NoScript. At this point I'm not sure this screenshot is not photoshopped.

in the noscriot settings default is set to "noscript and others" rest turned off, there is also ublock origin set to block 3rd party scripts, firefox fingerprinting settings are turned on

What are your NoScript settings for this page?

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

everything is on default so every sibgle page it loads allows "noscript" and "others" as indicated by the noscript settings

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

firefoxes regular fingerprinting protection has canvas blocking try turning that on from about:config. no scrip allows only "noscript" and "others" to loaf by defsult and ublock origin is blocking 3rd psrty javascript.

I have only "no script" and "others" enabled by default

LOL

you don't even need javascript to fingerprint anymore. html and css works too

[-] WeLoveCastingSpellz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 11 months ago

that needs javascript to work. I largely block javascript on my browser.
