They could fingerprint you by IP address, header files that don’t require JavaScript, your network traffic fingerprint, traffic flows, cookies, being logged into different sites at the same time content cached locally.
I’m not saying this to argue with you, I’m just trying to caution you against thinking you’re untrackable with just with ublockorigin and privacy badger.
Oh, I absolutely understand that a lot of tracking is stil possible. But in practice, it’s usually handled by third parties via a script loaded from a third party domain, because doing any of the smarter stuff would require a) a competent IT team b) the marketing team talking to them constantly.
Much easier to just slap another tracker into Google Tag Manager.
Of course this doesn’t help against tech companies. YouTube, Facebook, Reddit etc. will most likely track your views based on the requests, which you can’t avoid. But this takes care of 90% of the tracking, and most importantly, it removes the “everyone tracking you across every site you visit” aspect of the ad surveillance industry.
It’s a commercial service, but if you go to their webpage, they track you. And they give you a tracking ID, and they tell you about your view history of their page. So if you visit their page, then close your browser and visit it again, they will have successfully tracked you. They’re very good. It’s fun to play with. Try visiting them with out JavaScript, and then visit again with JavaScript. In my experiments they still track the no JavaScript visits, the widget just doesn’t display the tracking without the JavaScript
