Stupid question but what happens to fingerprinting if you just disabled JavaScript? Sure it breaks websites, but that's what I do with ubo advanced, which I also use to block webrtc, etc. (I really miss umatrix for this purpose). Am I fingerprinted because a site can't run JavaScript? If I use a VPN too?

Yeah. You are fingerprinted if you disable JS and/or use a VPN. Read the article for more info.

I did but I don't think I understand how it's that bad, random IP address with JavaScript disabled is 2 data points that can't, as far as I can see, be really helpful in identifying me. Seems like you're fingerprinted anyway so the less you give the better...
