  Finally, actual progress. Cutting the number of Firefox users who are trackable by fingerprinters in half is a huge win, and it’s great to see Mozilla put engineering muscle behind privacy-by-design instead of just writing blog posts.

  That said, I’m annoyed they only enable these protections in Private Browsing and ETP Strict for now. Most people never switch modes, so the real-world benefit is limited until this becomes the default. Fingerprinting is a cat-and-mouse game, sites will adapt, and some breakage is inevitable, so Mozilla needs a clear rollout plan and good tooling for site owners and users.

  If you actually want the protection today, switch to ETP Strict or use Private Browsing and layer on uBlock Origin and containers. Tor Browser remains the gold standard for hostile fingerprinting, but this is still a solid, welcome step from Firefox.
