I sure wish we could do something.

@tom grzybow We can. I have behaved like this for years: if a site wants to use all kinds of crap on me, I'm out. My way or the highway.

If a site doesn't work with my settings, adblocker and other stuff, then I don't want to be on that site, simple.

Yes, I block many things also. Javascript is a tough-one though - and probably also the most dangerous.

I usually block Cloudflare also, but that's another tough-one. Sometimes I have to break my own rules in order to access what I really really want.

I use JShelter for JavaScript. It's the usual suspect that immediately generates a warning that a page is trying to fingerprint you. And yes, many sites refuse to work if I don't allow them to inspect me down to my underwear. So be it, I don't need those sites.

JShelter works with Diaspora*?

@tom grzybow It's a plugin for your browser:

... I'm not using one of the supported browsers at this time - but I'll certainly give it a try at some point.
