      Thanks for the comprehensive write-up. It convinced me to migrate back to Firefox.

      I was on Firefox (8 years ago), moved to Chrome (I liked the non-admin/transparent update feature and Websites didn’t break like they did with ff), then moved to brave (basically chrome + more privacy), and now I’ll go back the Firefox (I hope I won’t encounter too many non-FF websites)

          Neato, I’ll check it out. I’m also trying out mull for android (as I’d like to keep my desktop/cellphone bookmarks/browser-history in sync)

            I expect to have some website compatibility issues with Firefox/librewolf, as it does have a 3% share of the global browser market - so, website development energy is focused on the chrome/safari experience. However, 8+ years ago I felt I needed to use chrome at least every other day to view certain websites - it was frustrating.

            I’m hoping (and willing to try it out) to see if this has improved.

        If you want to non ff sites to work on ff you can just spoof tour user agent. 90% of non ff sites actually work. Some use web usb and bluetooth stuff that doesnt work on ff.

      can increase the fingerprinting information for a website outside of California or Colorado.

      Or you know, the entire EU/EEC which has more inhabitants than USA.

      I always use do not track. If they fingerprint me with that, they are explicitly disregarding it. It obviously gives moral superiority.
