    IMO “more private” is pointless when you’re still unique either way

      If you use Tor + NoScript, you won’t be unique. You’ll blend in with the other Tor + NoScript users, of which there’s probably hundreds

        Hard disagree, there are still ways to uniquely fingerprint you.

          FYI if you are talking about HTML and CSS fingerprinting, I have never seen them used in the wild, and they are trivially detectable (for example a bunch of hidden :hover elements on the page), so Tor Browser would add defenses if they did start appearing in the wild.
