Re: [linux-elitists] Browser fingerprinting

with folks that refuse to run JavaScript Not "JavaScript"; "Unverified, potentially malicious code with a rich history of exploits inside a frame I use to navigate the online world". It wouldn't matter if the code was LISP or Python; the problem isn't the language, it's the context.

That said, I do run Javascript, albiet through NoScript. I just wish there were more fine-grained policy restrictions I could place on it, such as "No XmlHttpRequest/Websocket" or "No browser introspection (fonts, boundaries, etc.)", and let webapps that are trying to fingerprint me without my permission just crash and burn.
