      Considering how few people block all scripts, this could also make it trivial for them to fingerprint you.

              This breaks all kinds of stuff though. A ton of sites use Google for captchas.

                I've checked, its true. Linux plus Firefox already puts you in the 2 percent category.

                  I just don’t use any sites like that. If a site is using something other than Turnstile from Cloudflare, then I refuse to use it. I haven’t really experienced any inconvenience myself with this policy, but obviously I don’t depend on any sites that require recaptcha.

                  But you can allow/block any elements per site, or globally, which makes it trivial to block all unwanted scripts except on specific sites. So there is nothing preventing you from only exposing yourself to Google on the few sites you use that need those scripts.
