Mozilla tracking,Sentry and Google Analytics.
Why is it the case?

I save, to check later lol, Im curious now,
But,
Tor browser doesnt block all the fingerprint.
That's a part of why we should never tweak it, and use it as it is. I guess.

I guess too, if there is related ID, they are all the same.
If we dont tweak it, even the data is collected, there is too many associated to the ID, the fingerprint, to be of value.

Tor browser is playing on the mass effect too,

Im not tech enginneer, thats just a guess for now.
Saved for later :)
