Is firefox less fingerprintable?

[lloydde]

Firefox has been putting a lot of attention to this area. https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/how-to-block-fingerprinting...

I'm not an expert, but I'm running Firefox Nightly for exactly that reason.

It looks like the related feature is now in the regular release.

What's your user agent like? I would imagine there are not many Nightly users out there.

Still there are a lot of information in your user-agent and metadata (OS version, platform, screen size, timezone, and more).

firefox's charter allows for taking action against the interest of google. Chrome doesn't.

Seems to be, according to the creators of nothingprivate.ml: [1]

Not at all. In many ways since firefox has such a smaller market share you are significantly easier to identify than average.

This makes little sense. If the data collection capabilities are more restricted, how would one be easier to identify? Firefox has a significant market share still.

The absence of a data point is still an identifiable data point
