You'd THINK the article would link to a source about the fingerprinting in question instead of 90% filler slop and ads for their own service... Anyone got a link?
What is it you're looking for? Do you want to know what kinds of information is used for fingerprinting?
If so, check out coveryourtracks.eff.org and amiunique.org.

its captcha v3, its the same thing reddit uses to catch bots and ban evaders, apparently its expensive for reddit so they only mostly use it for ban waves.
I know nothing, but isn’t some pieces of Google software to be found on many sites that aren’t Google or YouTube?
Yes, a lot of websites embed Google Analytics, or more nefariously Google Fonts.
And recaptcha. And Google-hosted Javascript libraries. And youtube embeds.

Great read from Tuta on thia topic. It's been an issue for a while but Google going full force publicly on it causes this issue to grow greater.
I left a comment replying to someone further down about how this can be at least a little combatted and how it is with browsers. (At least to my minimal knowledge of it)
I just wish Tuta put more effort into their product than their marketing.
I noped out because of them not letting me have any control over my emails outside of asking them for a dump. But reading the support reddit is just brutal.
I personally have never used them. I use Proton myself (despite some news) and haven't had any issues. I've heard Tuta is also great but I think one of the cons of privacy mail is that they're not going to be nearly as polished as the big players like Gmail or outlook.
