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.
