I can’t get the fingerprinting protection to work correctly on IronFox, but my combination of extensions works fine with Fennec and LibreWolf on desktop. I tried playing with the fingerprinting presets and disabling webGL, but none of that has worked.
I really don’t want to use Fennec since it seems to have all the Mozilla bloat. It won’t even erase history on close, only when clicking “Quit” from the selection menu, which I think is a fucking terrible design decision.
I’m using this site to see if a random hash is generated on each reload: https://royfish.dev/fingerprints-are-the-new-cookies
I mean it depends on how many other people have the same fingerprint as you. It’s much more complex for the same browser on the same device to randomize the fingerprint but still allow most sites to actually work. If it gives unsupported resolutions, audio codecs, etc., then sites will break or at best be really harder to use. The idea is to make you look the same as everyone else rather than unique. It’s a balance between making you less unique and making more sites work properly. Without knowing how common that fingerprint hash is, it’s hard to say if it’s working. And a lot of things like disabling JavaScript or webgl to protect yourself from threats or setting your time zone to UTC-0 tend to just make you more unique since few people use those settings, or live in that time zone.
