I mean for fingerprinting protections I go minimal with extensions. I only have Ublock origin. I want to keep dark reader but for fingerprinting issue I’m not doing it. So if I keep js disabled with Ublock origin (I’m doing it for a while now) and then install dark reader will websites still be able to tell that I have dark reader installed?

    I played around with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and realized that I’m quite unique whether I allow js or not. Many trackers get blocked by the absence of js though so that would hamper them somewhat.
    My Sony phone with 21:9 screen ensures I’m uncommon compared to most.

    My goal isn’t to be untrackable but to block the ads they try to shove in your face as step 2.

      Another thing, I’m wondering. What if it’s not so much being un-unique as much the sum of the fingerprintable things looking not strange compared to others. Chances are that a lot of people also use some ad blockers, some common hardwares, etc.
