I use Firefox on Android with NoScript and an adblocker.
Yet I'm uniquely identifiable. One culprit is screen size putting me at <0.01%.
Does that make defeating fingerprinting on mobile hopeless for the casual user?
Edit: more info. All JS is blocked, and I have privacy.resistFingerprinting. The page doesn't detect my adblocker. Still, there are just too many things I can't change:
- hardware concurrency: 1.7%
- audio formats: 0.2%
- navigator properties: 0.2%
- audio data: 0.1%
I was surprised at this one:
- Media devices: Unique
What are media device identifiers for, exactly? Why does the browser supply it without JS?
If I disable Javascript (or don't enable it) I see everywhere 'NA' (except for HTTP headers) and no similarity rates are shown. Are you sure your Javascript is disabled?
What is the best way to disable javascript on firefox? Is there an addon that can whitelist certain websites to not disable javascript everywhere, while turning it of by default?
EDIT: I just discovered ublock origin can disable js by default. Now I wish I could change the user agent...
