- inactive since we added it in v63
- this is not how you defeat fingerprinting (unless done in an enforced set)
- for the record: not even tor browser disable this
- fingerprinting this is not cheap in gecko (for now)
- from [2]
- decoding/encoding capabilities: "it is expected that the entropy ... isn’t going to be significant"
- HDR detection: "... has the potential to add significant entropy .. however .. but ... thus minimizing effective entropy" - it is what it is
- note that RFP has some mitigations in FF82+ 1461454
- just to be clear, this section is not supported: not interested in references or explanations or FF version numbers or default info etc
- "do more harm than good" - ambiguous, not interested in explaining why exactly: but FYI
- some leak
- most break shit
- almost all are easily fingerprinted and the combo of them would make you really stand out
- removed the duplicate `ui.prefersReducedMotion` - this should move to personal as well
- moved `ui.systemUsesDarkTheme` to personal
8000s (was 4600s)
- move below personal, so user-relevant part is shorter
- swap out font vis with document fonts + font whitelist
- font vis still has usability/visual purposes: it just won't really help much with fingerprinting
- ESR78 users (who can't use font vis), sorry, but we made doc fonts inactive for a while now, and now recommend you don't use it anyway
- dead weight since 2017-06-13 when ESR45 reached EOL .. good riddance
- if someone does use it, it's not going to do any harm, so no need to carry it for prefsCleaner
- geo -> warning
- merge container prefs
- remove redundant "see"s
- remove corresponding 4600's item number in RFP mitigations
- it's pretty clear by the preference names in 4600
- could be misconstrued that the 4600 pref is the same result
- RFP's language prompt only checks for en*, not en-US (so en-GB, en-CA etc do not get prompted)
- https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/resistfingerprinting/RFPHelper.jsm#196
- 0105*: merge into a single block
- 1220: make values more readable with spaces, like 2701 (no need for value 2), add default, update advise (get a new AV, SHA1 is dead baby)
- 2619: remove fluff
- we already disable webgl, that's enough
- the other two prefs are not going to provide much protection if a user decides they want webgl
- "disable-fail-if-major-performance-caveat" only applies to ESR78 and will removed in the future
- one (or two) less pref(2) for users to troubleshoot/flip
- remove 2720
- this is a very old pref, been inactive since at least our first github release: v51
- disabling the API is not how you control client side state: you do that by blocking cookies which also controls other state such as IDB etc
- 2700 section header
- history/downloads is redundant
- Offline Website Data info -> relevant item number with Active Logins info
- ^ technically it still includes appCache for ESR78 users, but that will be moot in less than three months
- tidy RFP
- update to FF91 userAgent spoofing: there is no Android ESR so we don't need to mention "Android 9"
- we don't need to say if the API is enabled for mediaDevices
- the service implies a check is done first, I'm more concerned with the actual updating: not that updates are bad, it's about controlling when (if ever e.g. my test suite)
- since 0301 has to be done manually in Windows, 0302 is a good fallback **IF** the background service is applicable (read the link)
- clean up the numbering
