They say it here, but I disagree. Fingerprinting is difficult to prevent but not impossible. Same thing as with malware: You'll never be 100% protected from malware, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions against it, does it?

Here's one way of testing how unique your fingerprint is.

    Never said we should not try, nor that it was pointless.

    I just said it was impossible to avoid, but I agree we should not make it effortless

    One way of helping would be to tell people how to mitigate it. Telling them it's impossible does the exact opposite.
