Yea I agree. Trying to remove all tracking is futile. There are 3 reasons I still try. The least important of which is protecting my own privacy.
I personally see it as a moral imperative to, when able, do something to stand against evil (hyperbolic as that may be). But the most important reason is to defend my family. Given how interconnected our data is, any datapoint on myself is a datapoint on them.
As you say, trying to remove fingerprints is pointless, but I can mitigate the impact to the best of my ability
No yeah, I totally agree fingerprinting is despicable. I just mentioned my preferred way to get around it
