I browse without JS by default (using uMatrix), not to resist fingerprinting but because it is:

- More secure, especially if the website doesn't use TLS.

- Faster. Many websites work well enough even without JS or only some of it.

Disabling JS to resist fingerprinting may be counterproductive as only a minority of people disable it. My current approach is to use LibRedirect[1] et al to avoid using big websites such as YouTube directly.

In Firefox I also disable network.http.sendRefererHeader. It breaks some websites which rely on it for "security" though.

EDIT: I just found out on the amiunique website that over 12% of browsers disable it. Does this include bots?

Thank you for the tips! I'll look into libredirect.

The sample of users of amiunique is probably biased towards users that disable js.
