With browser fingerprinting persisting across all these flushes, discarding cookies and trackers won't help. You'll still be identified.

Browser fingerprinting is a problem, but the solution isn't to throw your hands up and spoonfeed them identifiers.

Blocking tracking scripts does thwart fingerprinting. I really hope we can figure out a decent access model for JavaScript someday.
