I’ve been worried about this since Google switched to it in Feb this year.

Apparently the short answer is “you can’t”. Which is terrifying. Surely some clever peeps out there can find a way round it (for normies)?

    You can. Librewolf with canvas blocker, turned on in settings, Chameleon, and uBlock and/or(?) JS blocker like NoScript. Edit.

    Canvas blocker and a JS blocker limits a lot of what Google can see and fingerprint per page. And you’ll be shocked at first how many pages have google trackers that a JS blocker kills. It’s easier to turn things on one at a time than claw back data once it’s out of your hands.

    Chameleon spoofs a lot of other details, like browser, system time, languages, headers, etc. So for what can be seen, it’s always changing and harder to corroborate. This plus moving VPN locations is what is needed.

    Also, TOR does the job, but not the most fun internet experience.

    It’s possible to block it to a large extent, but quite inconvenient. People don’t like inconvenience.
