Tangent note: I think browser fingerprinting is only a source of concern if you use VPN. Otherwise, your IP is already a good enough identifier, and quite likely doesn't rotate often enough. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah I'd only worry about it if I were trying to buy drugs on the dark net or something. I guess if torrenting became illegal I would also worry.

Torrenting itself is not illegal. The distribution of copyrighted material that you don’t own is the illegal part.
