It is not too much more effort to submit this information to a website...

I have heard that web sites are using screen size (width, height) and depth to help track one. For example, they could make a fairly reasonable guess that somebody with screen information of 640x480x256
or 1920x1280x32 is in a certain income category. They can also store
this information and your IP subnet and track one. I consider that my
screen size and depth should be private. Is there a way to set these
sorts of properties for javascript to my choosing?
Where did you hear this? This is a new one to me.
Javascript isn't used to determine screen size, and AFAIK the web page and its server simply dish up HTML - your browser determines how to fit it to your screen.
