NoScript can block iframes; will that disable this tracker?
Also, does the Tor Browser, which includes NoScript, default to blocking iframes?

No. Tor Browser defaults to the lowest security level, allowing all scripts, media, iframes, etc.

#4What else, besides using Tor, and turning off Javascript, does a user have to do that a website operator finally gets they don't want to be tracked?

But this can't track individual users, it just provides general usage statistics, like visitor retention.
I'd be interested in a viable example of this being used to identify users.

Because you can't use WebSockets in the browser without Javascript.

That can help with fingerprinting. Any entropy escaping from a users session is useful.

I may be missing something, but it seems to me that this technique(if not this particular implementation) could be used to easily track individual users.
