This. It’s a sensor, detecting only a specific air type. Not a camera, not a microphone. It doesn’t have to do with privacy, this is not “scan and collect data about all to punish one” and cannot be turned into one.

I’ll agree it’s a fuc**ing dumb idea. Like utter useless garbage. Classic capitalistic “fix behavioral trash-consumption issue with overpriced fancy tech products that sound amazing in theory and are garbage in practice, without fighting the problem at the root”. Screenshot comment said tax moeny but I’m willing to bet this is some kind of private school.

Also I disabled send a do not track signal as it is used for fingerprinting

Doesn’t this only make sense if it is off by default on that browser? I assume if it is on by default, most people will just keep it on, thus making users of that browser that turn it off stand out more. No?

I was talking about there being no option to whitelist some websites to keep their cookies, and as you can see it is not present there, while the desktop versione has it

Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet (while it is on desktop), the only choises you are left with are:

• Use ff focus that completely resets the browser deleting every cookie in the process
• Use normal ff and:

1. Just accept that you have to deal with cookies and care to carefully select Reject on every banner
2. Turn on delete data on “exit button press” (which sadly deletes everything again, with no possibility to whitelist some websites).

That said, i believe Firefox should have (even on android) their “total cookie protection” thing which puts them in separate containers for each domain, so you are somewhat protected by cookie cross-tracking, but i would still prefer to delete most of them at close.
