Disabling JavaScript Won’t Save You from Fingerprinting [FingerprintJS]

[Kongo]

Fingerprinting is a way to identify website users without using cookies or data storage. Instead, device properties like language and installed fonts are used to create highly accurate, unique identifiers that work even if the browser has incognito mode turned on.
A common misconception is that disabling JavaScript can prevent fingerprinting. Since advertisers and bad actors use it for ad targeting and tracking your online activity, it’s a natural (albeit incorrect) assumption that disabling JavaScript will protect you against fingerprinting. In this article, we will demonstrate that fingerprinting can occur even in the absence of JavaScript.
