  • You misunderstand. They’re calculating a fingerprint that identifies you across sessions despite you changing up a bunch of values on your browser with an extension because that’s all highly detectable. They know it’s junk data they don’t use it. It actually is worse because you stop blending in with the crowd.

    You’re better off blending in then trying to look unique with every visit. The latter is a flawed concept.

    Read the arkenfox guide they get into it. Most extensions just reduce your ability to blend in to the crowd and thus should be avoided.



  • Arkenfox is a set of Firefox flags.

    Librewolf/mule is essentially pre-packaged Firefox w/arkenfox and some things stripped out.

    The devs work informally on it which is why some releases lag. Like the jump to v128 lagged on mule because Firefox switched the way their repo worked and mull is based off of the Firefox source with some build scripts to change the logo, branding and add arkenfox settings by default.

    The flags used by Arkenfox are largely funded by the tor project as they work to upstream many of the tor browser changes back into Firefox which enables efficiency for future tor builds.

    This benefits everyone as the privacy preserving features of tor can be used off of the tor network too.
