    All you can really do is make the spying as difficult as possible. That’s really all we can do 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

      True. And unfortunately certain privacy measures can make it easier to digitally fingerprint you as a user. Also my mind is still blown since I learned about canvas fingerprinting. EFF.org describes it as follows:

      Canvas fingerprinting is invisible to the user. A tracker can create a “canvas” in your browser, and generate a complicated collage of shapes, colors, and text using JavaScript. Then, with the resulting collage, the tracker extracts data about exactly how each pixel on the canvas is rendered. Many variables will affect the final result. These include your operating system, graphics card, firmware version, graphics driver version, and installed fonts.

      These settings are different from one computer to the next. But they tend to be consistent enough on a single machine to clearly identify a user.
