    They can block domains known to collect fingerprinting data but yes, they don’t block fingerprinting itself.

    When you go to The Verge and there’s a full-screen pop-up about “our 872 partners store and access personal data, like browsing data or unique identifiers” those are all databrokers, and it’s not just them, it’s a fucking epidemic on the internet of sites that sell user data. The web has a cancer and it’s called advertising.

      PopUpOff gets rid of the box on most sites without having to give your consent. Can’t remember the last time an annoying cookie disclaimer blocked me from web content.

        I wasn’t complaining about annoying cookie banners, I was complaining about data collection.

        You can get rid of cookie banners with a normal ad blocker like uBO
