please disable AudioContext API

This new fingerprinting technique can be utilized by technology and marketing companies to deliver targeted advertisements as well as by law enforcement to unmask VPN or Anonymous users, without even decrypting the traffic

what do those features do?

what do those features do?

In fact they are not "features".They are some information(audio channel count/rate/frequency, supported font list, etc) the browser exposed to JavaScript.
And websites can generate a RELATIVELY unique fingerprint using these information.
Their purpose is precision advertising, not tracking.
The fingerprint can identify the same computer on different sites, but they don't know who you are.
