Also, since last year, users in https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/california-bringing-law-order-big-data-it-could-change-internet-n1005061 to know what large companies know about them, and the right to block the sale of that information to others.

any and all sites where revenue comes from ads are fu***d -- not they all are alredy


 
I like firefox framework but every day i'm looking for alternatives, seems Librewolf is a decent privacy browser.
 
There are gazillion ways to make a fingerprint out of your browser.

Some obvious ones:
The user agent you use - there is a way to tell if its spoofed or not
If you are using proxy or not
If you are using VPN or not
Operating system
Device
Resolution

Some not so obvious:
How many CPU cores does your system have
What GPU does your device use
Screen real estate
Device language
Timezone
Location

Sneaky ones:
Fonts fingerprint
Canvas fingerprint
Browser plugins

Super sneaky ones:
favicon CDN redirects fingerprint
input device id (microphone)
If you are logged in to google or not

You can grab any combination of the above and create a pseudo string (like a cookie string). So as you can imagine disabling cookies doesn't improve your privacy :)
