Firefox updated today and I'm wondering why they don't put Brave in this table, what's your opinion on this? 🤔

Fingerprint resistance of firefox? Is more like somewhat...

You have to change a few things in about:config, disable webRTC and spoof:

user-agent
font fingerprint
audio context ...

But it's the "best" OOTB alternative we can have rn.

I prefer Firefox(forks) but would also like to know what they're talking about.

You wouldn’t happen to have all those needed settings changes in a conveniently shareable list, would you?

I'm not able to copy/past my changes from my phone's about:config but here is a great tutorial and most of the parameters I changed:

Keep in mind that to use about:config on mobile phone you have to use the beta, dev or nightly version of firefox.

Also this could and will break some sites, I don't know how much you want to harden your firefox but here are the addons I use with Firefox:

+AdGuard home at the DNS level.

ICYMI: All the cool kids are using LocalCDN instead of DecentralEyes now.
