Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.

Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.

If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe)

@9tr6gyp3 @Lokjo Web browser is one important part of a privacy environment

This wont make your browsing anymore private than it already is or not. This is just telling advertisers to back off and accept that this is the only data you're going to get willingly, and its nothing that can fingerprint you individually.

@9tr6gyp3 ABP by default does a lot.

But unless you’re using Tor browser bundle… actually yes, you almost certainly *are* fingerprintable individually.

Im talking about this new feature specifically, not in general. Thanks for the overview though.
