Is firefox less fingerprintable?
- jes 7y agoI'm not an expert, but I'm running Firefox Nightly for exactly that reason. https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/04/09/protections-against-fingerprinting-and-cryptocurrency-mining-available-in-firefox-nightly-and-beta/ https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2019/04/09/protectio...
- lloydde 7y agoIt looks like the related feature is now in the regular release.

- lloydde 7y agoFirefox has been putting a lot of attention to this area. https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/how-to-block-fingerprinting-with-firefox/ https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/how-to-block-fingerprinting...

- tick_tock_tick 7y agoNot at all. In many ways since firefox has such a smaller market share you are significantly easier to identify than average.
- outworlder 7y agoThis makes little sense. If the data collection capabilities are more restricted, how would one be easier to identify? Firefox has a significant market share still.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 7y agofirefox's charter allows for taking action against the interest of google. Chrome doesn't.
