I meant - but was not very clear: if one used this software instead of a browser add-on to block ads, would this be a big improvement in escaping browser fingerprinting ?


Probably not. Use a dedicated tool like a custom browser (Mullvad Browser comes to mind - it beats fingerprint.com/demo which Firefox even WITH protections enabled, does not.


You may also want to see https://librewolf.net/ while not as good by default compared to Mullvad Browser, it may still be a browser to consider.


I'e been using Librewolf for almost a year now, and like it a lot. Also have some other extensions and tweaks in a user.js

How much better is Mullvad Browser and why?


Thanks to both of you.

I am a light user of LibreWolf (I mostly use Iridium browser)


I haven't heard of Iridium browser before, seems neat. Thanks.
