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.

You can try playing with Arkenfox, installing uBlock Origin, fiddling with about:config, and giving yourself an aneurysm…

…or you could try Mullvad Browser. It’s a fork of Firefox, co-developed by Mullvad and The Tor Project, with impressive fingerprinting resistance (according to Cover Your Tracks). It’s like Tor Browser without Tor.

Also, install NoScript. It helps a lot.
