People complain about google logging their search queries when they are in "incognito mode" and logged into their google account - we need a lot more education.

What I would like is effective solutions against most fingerprinting.

Whonix (which still relies on Tor Browser).

Query parameters are hardly voluntary, just about every linked acquired via "share" button on various platform includes tracking query parameters, including google search results. Combined with the fact that query parameters are has legitimate uses, the distinction complexity becomes indistinguishable from "legitimate WebGL usage" vs "WebGL fingerprint".
It is scary where we are, but you can't solve it by dismissing it as FUD.
It mixes voluntary user actions, like submitting forms and “query parameters”, with things like “WebGL fingerprint” which we agree is evil sneaky fingerprinting.
I agree tracking is a serious problem, but this list isn’t contributing to any discussion.
