An interesting take on browser extensions which hope to prevent fingerprinting

With respect to native browser functionality:

Browser vendors have already invested a considerable amount of work into anti-fingerprinting. However, they usually limited themselves to measures which wouldn’t break existing websites…

And extensions:

Privacy protection extensions on the other hand aren’t showing as much concern. So they will typically do something like:

screen.width = 1280;
screen.height = 1024;

There you go, the website will now see the same display resolution for everybody, right? Well, that’s unless the website does this:

delete screen.width; delete screen.height;

And suddenly screen.width and screen.height are restored to their original values…
