noscriptfingerprint / JavaScript in apps?

Sempa

This site seems to identify devices uniquely without any need for your browser to have JavaScript activated, even in Tor Browser.
Did anyone already talked about it?
Seems like it goes as far back as 2022 people been discussing it, also wondering if apps clients of sites like socials that originally needed js on the browser has it on their app to identify you still even if opensourced?

So whether you enable or disable Javascript (JS) on the browser, they still have ability to fingerprint you

Ofc, disabling Javascript definitely provides the information that you are one of few users which has disabled Javascript and is thus a pretty good fingerprint by itself.

But if you choose to disable JS, they only get lesser device info to deannonymize you through fingerprinting

AFAIK the only way to go in order to defeat browser fingerprinting with using multiple device for different purpose as following

Private Device
You could disabled JavaScript globally, but allow JS to run on trusted websites (when beneficial) like GOS forum, privacyguide forum, etc. If you just want to read an article, but it doesn' t work or broken without running JS then you can consider this website does not respect your privacy and you can move on to another website ;)
Entertainment Device
Ofc you must enable JS globally for watching movie, Gaming, social media, shopping, etc

Disabling JS will make it stand out, but technically it also will make it harder for fingerprinting

If many privacy conciousness user doing it, it will make a game changer to defeat browser fingerprinting globally

I forgot to mention that if you are using Safari browser on iOS or iPadOS, then you shouldn't disable JS. Because Safari is less unique for fingerprinting due to has a few variant hardware indentifier.

Unlike using brave or vanadium that you already unique at the first place for fingerprinting

I assume that you already know, we can not use apple as a private device, because it is proprietary software and no one can verify the source code. Only use Graphene OS for private device.
