Yes, a unique fingerprint allows tracking. But which sites that most of us visit, without logging in, actually have and use that capability to build a unique profile?

I assume ad networks and analytics are the main ones actually fingerprinting based on client-side factors. I could be totally wrong.

Any reasonable adblocker that prevents requests to those services probably neuters 99% of any fingerprinting capability that anyone is going to encounter day to day.
