I can’t get the fingerprinting protection to work correctly on IronFox, but my combination of extensions works fine with Fennec and LibreWolf on desktop. I tried playing with the fingerprinting presets and disabling webGL, but none of that has worked.
I really don’t want to use Fennec since it seems to have all the Mozilla bloat. It won’t even erase history on close, only when clicking “Quit” from the selection menu, which I think is a fucking terrible design decision.
I’m using this site to see if a random hash is generated on each reload: https://royfish.dev/fingerprints-are-the-new-cookies
So I am able to get a random hash on every reload of the royfish.dev page with uazo/cromite browser IF I go into site settings and set timezone to random for each site.
Cromite has excellent fingerprint protection out of the box, but a scrambled timezone may be considered a suboptimal default so one has to go select that manually
Honestly, just use Vanadium on GrapheneOS instead of IronFox
It’s more secure and if your browser gets compromised, your phone’s security goes out the window. I’m fine trading a little privacy for better security
Secondly, when it comes to browsers, the more you hide, the more you stand out, so try to blend in with most people
You stand out more if you have very strong fingerprint protection, which ironically makes you easier to track since you’re an anomaly
Are you trying to give internet cancer? Vanadium doesn’t even have ad-blocking or fingerprint resistance.
