Buddy, given your relatively basic questions and how you're posting to every single fucking vaguely relared community, I would highly suggest you do some studying on just... basic computer concepts and how to use them. Not sure what resources are out there anymore, but maybe some basic "these are the parts of a computer, these are programs and how they work" stuff from the 90s. They used to do middle school classes on how to properly use google and other seaech engines to find trustworthy information for citing in research papers. I seriously suggest you start there.

Then, after you understand the basics maybe you start trying to understand how all of that works in regards to security and the concept of trust in the software you install and run.

Spoiler alert: Computers are not designed with any sort of "zero trust" architecture like you seem to be shocked that they don't have. Things are not sandboxed, segmented, or otherwise prevented from accessing other stuff as a general rule.

This is why one of the bare minimum basics is "don't run anything you don't trust".

Thank you. So many people lately that think there's some magic "fix everything" button hidden in the neck of whatever top asshole is in power.

Doesn't take too deep a look at revolutions the world over to see that isn't the case.

This is great, but many many computer games simply do not grow with changes in hardware over time. That's not a console exclusive problem.

Outdated libraries, relying on features no longer supported by the OS, coding game elements reliant on the lack of speed of old hardware, automatic engine updates breaking old functionality.

The list goes on and on.

Don't forget "styrofoam walls painted to look like tunnels". Fucking looney tunes.

If someone's a piece of shit, whatever corporate mannerisms they do or don't pick up are not going to be what makes or breaks the fact they're a shit person.

Most still are/can be. Enough that I find it hard to believe people are missing out without podcasts through these paid services.

I feel bad for the LibreWolf devs who continue to desperately say that it's not designed to be a general use browser.

Show me where the data is sent back to Mozilla. It's all open source. I'll wait.

You might have better results working with a doctor and getting perscriptions for the mind altering drugs that assist you.

Trying to trust your own brain to self assess what works and doesn't while actively messing with its chemistry it uses to do that assessment... it can work, but it's definitely choosing to do it on hard mode.

If you unironically have trouble believing in the persistance of things outside of your own immediate senses, please go talk with your therapist more.

That's kind of base level underpinnings of your existence and how you interact with the rest of the world shit.

Harsh question: Do you have a real need to prevent this data from being collected, or are you investigating just for ~~funsies~~ best practice advice? There are a lot of posts like this where people overestimate the threat model they have and insist on needing to block things that are nearly impossible to, or at least have significant tradeoffs like you are dealing with now.

Javascript is also not the only source that sites can use for these pieces of info from your machine. Local time in particular can be estimated by looking up the rough location of your IP address then matching to a time zone.

Anyway.

I would assume you could technically fork localCDN (replaces remote javascript libraries with local copies) and then manually edit the local javascript library copies to remove the calls you are concerned about.

There's also options like uBlock Origin's methods of only whitelisting specific scripts. Much more flexible than NoScript. You can block scripts that are third party and only allow site specific ones fairly easily, without digging deep into the settings.

Bear in mind that your specific combination of installed extensions can also be a unique identifier though.
