Using something like this, which I would personally make illegal: https://fingerprint.com/

I also tried setting privacy.resistFingerprinting = true in Firefox, but it's sad to see that most websites become unusable (most sites using canvas just render a green/purple mess), zooming in Google Maps is basically broken (skips several levels at a time), and like others have mentioned dark mode and time zones also stop working.

What a mess the (somewhat private) web is nowadays. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced legislating privacy is the only way out of this arms race we seem to be losing.

EDIT: Sorry, the parent post already included fingerprinting, missed that. Rant still stands though :)

PaleMoon - http://www.palemoon.org/ - a hard fork of Firefox, includes a setting called canvas.poisondata which really messes up browser fingerprinting without distorting any canvas use on a site. It is also a zero telemetry browser and doesn't make any automated connections on startup if the appropriate settings are enabled / disabled (unlike Firefox).

Device ID tracking should be illegal period.

Fingerprint.com actually claims[1, FAQ -> GDPR]

> we never do cross-domain tracking.

Not sure if that is true though...
