I mean for fingerprinting protections I go minimal with extensions. I only have Ublock origin. I want to keep dark reader but for fingerprinting issue I’m not doing it. So if I keep js disabled with Ublock origin (I’m doing it for a while now) and then install dark reader will websites still be able to tell that I have dark reader installed?
I played around with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and realized that I’m quite unique whether I allow js or not. Many trackers get blocked by the absence of js though so that would hamper them somewhat.
My Sony phone with 21:9 screen ensures I’m uncommon compared to most.
My goal isn’t to be untrackable but to block the ads they try to shove in your face as step 2.
I use IronFox and I do pass that test. Only browser that I use that does. FF and Cromite do not.
Interesting, it seems that while IronFox has the protections activated by default (and with some changes) you can also activate most of them on Firefox.

Ironfox Devs themselves say that the only browser that can truly protect you against fingerprinting is the Tor Browser.

Do you feel IronFox breaks many sites for you?
If it makes you feel better I have a Sony with 21:9 too. So there’s at least two of us😅
Another thing, I’m wondering. What if it’s not so much being un-unique as much the sum of the fingerprintable things looking not strange compared to others. Chances are that a lot of people also use some ad blockers, some common hardwares, etc.
