Remember, kids, disabling JavaScript is cheating, since many sites require JavaScript to work and fingerprinting code can be included in that mandatory JavaScript.
A blog post about fingerprinting users instead of browsers and devices, could there be a future in this?

Some kind anon many threads before posted a link to a story that indicates Google is injecting fingerprint code into their CAPTCHAs.

This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits.
To fix this you can get a pass (which allows you to be tracked by 4chan in a different way), or you can trust the 4chan X extension and use that to run 4chan with all JavaScript disabled.
Daily reminder to do all your Facebook / Youtube / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple points if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN.
The Tor Browser Bundle is still susceptible to many fingerprinting attacks that can uncover your true OS and browser.
Spoofing your user-agent is counterproductive unless you use a different user-agent for every site, even if you rotate them every x HTTP requests.
Fuck off pedo, nothing to hide
I honestly can't tell if >>55264777 is mad or trolling.
Or maybe he sees things others can't.

If your goal is to avoid fingerprinting, then you want your browser to appear as the most common configuration possible. It all looks like sound advice to me.

except for the maximize browser window
>>55276074
Well, you do want your window size to be something common. I would guess that maximized 1366x768 minus the default windows start bar size would be the most common thing.

I think most browsers report monitor size rather than window size.
It's just the tor browser bundle that does that weird windows size shit
Why is randomizing the user agent counter-productive?
>>55276279
They report screen resolution, but you can check window size easily enough.
>>55276457
If you set your user agent string to something that doesn't match the rest of your fingerprint it makes you unique. E.g. windows UA on a Linux machine.
If you randomise your UA but reuse the same UA on a website with login then they can still track you and they know you changed your UA

Then don't use those sites. Duh? 4chan works fine with JS disabled. NoScript allows you to selectively enable JS by domain.
Don't allow google. Don't use google. Use duckduckgo. (Okay, if you really need google, don't have an account, don't log in ever, don't allow google scripts, and !g it from duckduckgo so they can improve their search in the future, so you don't need google forever)
Disable all http javascript, and only allow JS if it is served over https. NoScript options, Advanced, HTTPS, Permissions, "Forbid Active web content unless it comes from a secure (https) connection" always.

No pass = no posting
>>55278683
What are you talking about? I just posted this with javascript disabled. No 4chan Pass required. reCAPTCHA functions just fine with JS disabled.
What browser are you using?
>>55278747
Firefox and NoScript
>>55278775
>>55278747
Works in Dillo or at least the Captcha works. Can't post from it any more though for some reason ;_;
>>55278833
I'm out. Hope you figure out your browser issue. Browse safe.

I'm a bit torn between v1 captcha and non-JS. v1 seems better since you can fuck it up by replacing a word but with non-JS you only have v2 so you have to work for free and it's more difficult to fuck up.
