Ask HN: Is disabling JavaScript necessary to circumvent browser fingerprinting?
I&#x27;ve used Tor browser both on Tails (on a pendrive) and on my main OS, trying out security levels Standard, Safer, Safest. But only the Safest level works (because it disables Javascript) to the degree that I pass the test at coveryoutracks.eff.org and amiunique.org. I get similar results by simply disabling Javascript through about:config in my main browser (Firefox).
