If you're worried about fingerprinting above all else, vanilla Firefox is probably better than something like Arkenfox.

I'm dead serious. :blobcateyes:

Fingerprinting is one of the most counter-intuitive things in digital privacy.
In most cases the more you try to prevent it by yourself, the worse it gets. :blobcatthink:

TL;DR the best thing you can do is to use your browser like a normal person. :blobwizard:

If you are worried about fingerprinting you should only consider mullvad browser and tor browser.

The LibreWolf/arkenfox approach only is effective against "naive scripts" and essentially withholds, spoofs, or randomizes when it can.

MB and TB on the other hand unify all of its users' fingerprints to appear as identical as possible. This crowd blending is dramatically more effective at protecting you.
