Privacy@Lemmy.ml: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox?

I did the tests on fingerprint.com/demo/ and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and they both said I have a unique fingerprint, even when I enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting to True.

Use Tor Browser. Don’t waste your life on micro-optimisation. You will get a lot more privacy with stuff like getting all your friends on Signal/SimpleX, etc.

Use Tor.

Do you mean Tor Browser? Because using Tor alone won’t stop fingerprinting.

Yeah, edited.

You’re absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I’m not gonna do that with privacy either, I’m focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.
