   @dch @prahou @Reiddragon Well technically it would be a lot of work and lot of regressions/breaking-changes, CSS is one vector, the <picture> element is another, then you can bruteforce with loading=lazy (or get scroll progress).

   That said I'm not sure how frequently fingerprinting is used when exploiting ETag / Last-Modified, slapping tracking IDs in the URL (some cleanable, some not due to mangling tracking with the page-id), … as super-cookies also just works.

   And legally… well I doubt fingerprinting is legal in EU, problem then is how the enforcement is nearly non-existent compared to how illegal the tech industry is.

     @lanodan @dch @prahou it's exactly what I was saying: you need to nuke all the bullshit they've been selling as progress for the past 10 to 15 years just to limit fingerprinting
     
     And for the law: also what I was saying: the people in charge just don't undeestand how it works in order to properly handle both the law making and the enforcement (and we're unfathomably lucky in the EU to even have any laws at all for this, as unenforced as they are)
