Wow, I thought the controls are exposed in browser preferences. This makes even less sense, why would these be only controllable by extensions? (Though they are accessible in about:config at least)

I personally have them both turned on in about:config.

But It would be nice to have an extension to turn off resistfingerprinting on some sites (like firefox's extension site) because it fakes the browser's user agent which breaks things that check your user agent. I'm not sure this will allow that. It seems like it'll allow a privacy extension to easily enable / disable it for all sites with a check box.
