Is Nick still leading that channel?
I kind of lost interest after Frost made his expose

Similar things go for language and timezone.
There are various ways to spoof various settings about your browser, through add-ins or otherwise.
Yes and no. There are still plenty of things that get tracked regardless of JavaScript, and disabling JavaScript is it’s own mark they can track.
Do Not Track is one such request, but screen size, viewport size, language, timezone/region, whether you block ads or not, browser/engine version, and many more are all things that do get tracked without the need for JS.

iOS doesn’t come with any preinstalled Apple bloatware either. Oh, wait.
I’m not sure how much “not guilty” is possible in what is a clear case of murder. Nullification, however.
School shootings are whatever, but this? This is really concerning!
In WhatsApp you can set custom notification sounds, I believe it even supports notification sounds on a per-contact basis. So safe to say you can do it as an app developer.
