I’m not saying I’m a sec expert and impervious to tracking. I don’t need to try multiple sites until one gives me more correct hits, I understand the basics of fingerprinting and how it can be used maliciously. I do more than the average user to safeguard my information.
My point is, real sec professionals attempting to educate and make the general public more knowledgeable about privacy don’t have to rely on scare tactics and vague implications that they live in the matrix and are coming for you to accomplish that. It makes them look like ding-dongs who need to take the trenchcoats and sunglasses off and open the blinds. This thankfully seems to be a common sentiment in this thread.
The key is the fingerprint ID. With those Jshelter settings, turning on your VPN and clearing cookies will change the ID. However without Jshelter, the ID will stay the same.

Standard firefox provided 19 datapoints and with jshelter it was 24 and nothing changed what the site says :)

Or a Firefox fork with resistFingerprinting disabled (Jshelter deals with that).
