That a page knows technical details of my system and in which I live country (if I do not use a VPN), I give a fuck, why this only serves to correctly show the content, eventually in my language and allow the download of possible compatible apps.

Fingerprints are a very broad issue and are not necessarily related to privacy, blocking or counterfeiting all is possible, but in many cases counterproductive, it must be done specifically only in those that involve private and personal data, everything else is to put a tin foil hat.

To protect the privacy there are needed way more measures, avoiding trackers, Pixel tracking (Meta), keyloggers (Towerdata, Imgur, M$ US and some others), avoiding search engines which logs the activity (Google, Bing...), recognize dark pattern, using encrypted mailservices, best with disposable alias, harden the SO with Portmaster, Pi-ole or similar.......apart of Common sense-

Browsers, which are not directly from Big Corporations which itself log user actividad (Chrome, EDGE, Opera...), are relative irrelevant in this game of user profiling, they are only depends on personal preferences and needs.

Privacy is a huge issue, but too often misunderstood with wrong measures, PEBCAK
