    Yes you’re right, but disabling JS also makes you stand out way more wrt fingerprinting, and you can still be fingerprinted with HTML/CSS, TLS and other methods.

      On i2p- and onion-sites, I guess having JS disabled is far more common than on normal internet, so “standing out” is not really a concern.

      Disabling JS helps reduce the many many other fingerprintable metrics and replaces it with one. One that is rare, but not uncommon in the worlds of I2P or Tor.
