Do you seriously think these data hungry companies will care about your IP location and won't fingerprint you? I doubt it.
@mypasswordis1234 @fmstrat It is possible to beat fingerprinting with a vpn + delete all cookies + turn resist fingerprinting to true in about:config of Firefox.
The post is about saying "No, I do not want to be fingerprinted", not "Here are my faked attributes that change every time I visit you". What's the point of sending a DNT header if companies don't care and just do what they do?
