oh yeah also js isn't very usable yet so that improves privacy
To be fair, it is quite possible to fingerprint you pretty well without any JS at all, both inside and outside of html/css.
And disabling javascript is certainly something that not many people do, so already that makes you stand out even more.
Btw, how much of HTML features do they support yet? I found nothing googling.
Because, it's not that you support HTML 4 or 5 but how much of it. I think QtWebkit is still ahead of Blink and Gecko there, but less performant.
idk, but from my testing pure html and css seem to work pretty well. it's just js that ladybird seems to have issues with
Lol, but also JS being volatile in the current browser makes it easier to fingerprint.
