    ghostery offers advanced settings in which even less advanced users can easily stop tracking. Even the default mode is almost good... but still I prefer the block everything so I can enjoy the net as it is meant to be: free.

    The browser fingerprint will change each time the browser is fingerprinted. The fingerprint result is also a spoiled fingerprint, so that it is not worth it anymore to track you based on the uniqueness of your browser.
