As a web developer seeing an end user say this is hilarious. Hate to break it you but there are much better ways to track you.
If you’re that paranoid just use a VPN and never enter personal information on the internet.
I prefer to use Tor, but whatever makes you happy.
Client side code isn't the only way to track someone, but it's one of the options. And fingerprinting browsers using JavaScript is an extended practice.
Anyway, you're missing my point. My browser, my rules. I'll just block any script that annoys me.
—What’s that? Oh. The producers are telling me they use those methods too.
