I think a lot of people have an apathetic outlook towards privacy because they're cynical that anything they can do will have the desired effect. The belief that they can't possibly outsmart these data hungry corporations without putting in what they consider to be hard work is enough to sacrifice it.
Are they able to track us in incognito using our IP ? Please explain a little to a rookie like me ๐
It's usually a number of different data points about your browser like the user agent string that identifies what browser you use and what OS, screen resolution, language settings, timezone, whether or not you use and adblocker etc... and of course IP addresses
This is horrifying. I'll reset my browser more often, I was already in the habit of doing that
Canvasblocker(randomises all of those little tracking details)/Noscript(outright prevents JS scripts from being able to read those in the first place) combo my beloved
