Browser fingerprinting and free software

Rather than worrying about being fingerprinted, it seems more practical to use free software plugins to regain control. They not only respect your freedom, but your privacy also. You can get much further with these than trying to manipulate your browser's fingerprint.

Free vs non-free software has nothing to do with fingerprinting. Users should definitely be worried about browser fingerprinting, at least on desktop computers, because it is a problem for privacy nowadays. Escpecially since more and more browsers block 3rd-party cookies by default and the data collection and advertising industry needs more advanced methods, like evercookies, cache and fingerprinting to track users.
