Why does firefox allow random people to farm all that information? That's the real problem here.
it's not just firefox. pretty sure that's just how the web works. i use librewolf with privacy badger, canvas blocker, and ublock, but it's still built around firefox. i get a "unique fingerprint" notification, but also "you have strong tracking protection"
