This post argues that device fingerprinting and corporate tracking will persist despite policies and urges proactive, privacy-preserving practices: use non-Chrome browsers with anti-fingerprinting add-ons, compartmentalize browsing, favor secure operating systems (e.g., OpenBSD, GrapheneOS/DivestOS), and employ DoT/DoH. It expresses distrust in governments, corporations, and regulations like GDPR, encouraging measured paranoia and common-sense operational security.
