hello, for hardening privacy add this about:config
privacy.trackingprotection.fingerprinting.enabled ;true
Why was this closed, Is it included to
privacy.resistFingerprinting
orprivacy.trackingprotection.enabled
, or did you confuse it as a duplicate of https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/809 ?what's your problem to close this topic?
it is new about:config rule add to version 66 to protect user against fingerprint.
privacy.trackingprotection.fingerprinting.enabled
That's exactly what happened, @Mikaela
thanks, guys.
When tracking protection is enabled, this entry adds another request to mozilla shavar servers:
"base-fingerprinting-track-digest256"
@Atavic that's the reason why ghacks user.js doesn't use this and instead recommend uBlock Origin
actually the reason the ghacks user.js doesn't use this (and in fact recently removed all Tracking Protection (TP) prefs, none of which were active, i.e they were all commented out) is
So, excluding the overhead of trying to keep up with it, it's all just a bit pointless: All PTIO needs to do is recommend users go to the UI setting and enable x, y, z: and even then, it'll be on by default very soon
Edit: but I see they've already been added
