Google is allowing its advertising customers to fingerprint website visitors. Can you stop it?

    I’d say combining these necessary data points is probably enough to identify me

    The EFF has had a couple of websites that would profile you on exactly this data, so you’re completely correct in that even the basic normal required metadata is more than enough to identify you pretty well.

    coveryourtracks.eff.org is where it’s living now, and a quick glance shows that just using browser capabilities and such is absolutely enough to identify me.
