Privacy? I don't have anything to hide.

In this way you are under surveillance 24 on 24: https://browserprint.info/blog/fingerprintingDefence

Exercising Fingerprinting Defence, seems as onerous as what you are trying to defend against.

Whilst Disable JavaScript universally would seem a possibility, but would be hassle to maintain. In this instance using NoScript that blocks all unless specifically but this doesn't block all fingerprinting.

Now I'm thinking this fingerprinting information has to get back to home to be able to deliver the fingerprint data. So RequestPolicy to block 3rd party sites may be an option. Both of these add-ons would appear to be easier to maintain than some of the anti-fingerprinting actions in the article.

Disabling JavaScript prevents it, but see Davids comment about that above.

There is no doubt about it, they really are after your data. What may seem innocuous to you is valuable to them as they can profit from it (selling it multiple times), mostly for targeted ads. Now you have to consider blocking ads and that is another ball game, AdBlockPlus, uBlock Origin, etc. etc.

Concerning the answer of this theme: I hear it almost daily! They didn't care at all!!!
That makes me angry.

Some tips from one of the best that knows (knew) how to stay under the Internet radar:
https://www.wired.com/2017/02/famed-hacker-kevin-mitnick-shows-go-invisible-online/

Know from me that this "universal right to be left alone" gets harder and harder to achieve now.
Especially those parties that try to hide draw special interest onto them from those,
that want to decide/manipulate what you should think, your opinions,
and even want to censor what "they" hold to be fake news or politically incorrect (criticism).

Therefore your Internet freedom will come more and more under attack where-ever you may be on the globe...

And do they do this with everybody's permission also?

Good it is still totally ineffective until now, but they are trying it.

Doing away with net neutrality as is planned will do the rest.
You'd only get that content that is good for you, just like the ads

Privacy does not exist online anymore, come to live with that fact of life.

Just checked to what extent Duck Duck Go is a more  privacy friendly search engine.
Well Duck Duck Go is NOT so privacy friendly on the major browser flaws like Google Chrome and/or firefox.
In that case use Epic Privacy Browser (but not with the standard search engine as EpicSearch is insecure) or use Doob browser.

Wit Duck Duck Go the privacy gain is only minimal (tracking related), as they are in bed with Amazon and media data-slurpers like facebook, Whatsapp, etc.

When you leave the main search page for a link, you are almost immediately again a victim of Google's evergrowing data greed, because of the fact you use a browser that is Google (engine) related or a Google partner, so we talked full circle now.

No way to escape and the less privacy sensitive browsers may be insecure ,when a 0-day has been detected for the big browser engines they use. It takes weeks to keep up with the patch regime for such less popular browsers. Brave as an exemption.

Please, remember, while even surfing with tor browser on tails. In the United States privacy no longer exists and very soon Europe and the rest of the globe will follow.  CTIA pleaded for changes to share all your data with third parties (seel your data):
https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1031683478226/170316%20CTIA%20Reply%20to%20Oppositions%20to%20Petition%20for%20Reconsideration.pdf 

So later our American friends like Europe to do likewise!

Consider : https://urlscan.io/result/ff4f58a6-80f2-4f63-8c6d-9feeb66906cc#summary
DuckDuckGo is Amazon. Amazon will be dragnet tapped for meta-data with general data surveillance.

This courtesy of your government and their politicians. Even EFF cannot make a change there as we all decided to close our eyes to these practices since 1995. The masses do not realize and they do not know the backgrounds for it.

DuckDuckGo, a good initiative, non-malicious and non-suspicious, see obfuscation you meet: https://webcookies.org/check

Do not longer resist, as there is no real privacy on Duckduckgo and they fire up search-related ads Better use Sleipnir (a Japanese browser, who has not such a large attack surface in USA and in Europa) and use  uMatrix, uOrigin en uOrigin Websocket with special
block lists.  And additionally use Moscow's Adguard as a general blocker to block western crap/bloat, that is supposed to go under the radar.

Conclusion the end-user is a product of  Big Data Industry.

"In the United States privacy no longer exists"
It hasn't existed for many years. It's about time everyone realizes that fact.
If you expected privacy you never ever should have used the internet in any form.

[Para-Noid]

Privacy hasn't existed anywhere for a very long, long time.
Because (alphabet soup time); CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6, GCHQ, ASIS, ASI0. NATO,etc., have been looking over your shoulder for years.
Don't forget the Chinese, Russia and many other countries.
