Don't worry, you are still being tracked by IP + browser fingerprinting... and using a browser with a low single-digit marketshare stands out like a sore thumb.

(which is also why framing GDPR discussions around cookies misses the point - the point is to determine the user's consent to being tracked regardless of technical ability, whether cookies, IP address, fingerprinting, or even some magic crystal ball)

That is also illegal under the GDPR; you cannot track me without my explicit opt-in consent, whither by 'cookies' or other means.

I continue to be astounded how little grasp some HN readers (a technical news site!) have of the GDPR.

I am aware it is illegal, and yet just like for cookie-based tracking, everyone gets away with it.
