Compare to cookies. I use two extensions. The first accepts all cookies to bypass cookie banners. The second deletes all non white listed cookies on closing the page. This works well for me since I seldom have more than 20 pages open, and I constantly close them.

Is there a way to avoid browser fingerprinting like this at all (with potential qol benefits) or am I extra screwed because I do things like this in addition to running Linux on a computer I built?

    I use LibreWolf and then turn a fair chunk of the mitigations off. It’d be nice to have all the mitigations on, but I started to tire of every site not being dark mode at night, or the time being incorrect, or the JavaScript on the site breaking, or various other things when I don’t really care about the tracking.

    It was also difficult or annoying to turn these mitigations off on a site-by-site basis for known-okay or trusted sites. Maybe someone could educate me, here though.
