No, sorry, I think I came across wrong. I'm with you on how easy it is to work around this type of tracker, I posted the article more to showcase this type of tracker (since I haven't heard of it before) than to point out the authors inaccuracies. Hence my short description on it being sensationalist.

Ahh, alright, that's fair.

To be sure, the "fingerprinting method" is worth knowing about, but you're spot on about the sensationalism.

Cheers!
