How come?
In my opinion you should enable it
Didn’t watch out for reasons, maybe ironfox gives one?
We don’t recommend enabling it; you can see our reasoning as to why we don’t enable RFP here - we use a hardened configuration of FPP instead.
FYI: Arkenfox doesn’t enable RFP by default anymore either, and LibreWolf is also considering switching to FPP with an approach like ours.
Thank you useful read
Wow. First news. Shitty of them claiming to follow Mull’s legacy if they’re doing their own thing.
They changed some basics from Mull and decided to go other ways. That’s why I’m not using thus browser
What would be your suggestion?

But weren’t they acquired by some big evil company?
We very publicly discussed our approach to fingerprinting and the reasoning for this. But a basic TL;DR is that we’re using a hardened configuration of FPP - which matches all of RFP’s targets, except the few known to cause breakage/be undesirable for users. I’d recommend reading that GitLab issue for a detailed explanation, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

If I remember, that setting is extremely aggressive, and breaks lots of sites. Firefox has by default, a more complicated and nuanced feature that works practically as well, without breaking everything.
So is Firefox mobile or Fennec actually better in this regard?
In that specific regard, probably.
I use Fennec. I’ve found the more security minded versions, tend to have problems with some site or another, and annoy me.I noticed that the sites that have issues are the sites I should avoid.
After a while, you just don’t need them if you are willing to make the changes needed to reduce that corpo exposure
Firefox selling their ass out so I lost trust in them to be using their apps
