    Can you explain what you mean by an adblocker making this not matter? Wouldn’t that just make you more unique as well? I probably just misunderstood what you said.

    Also just by using firefox you’re very unique. Firefox has like 0.1% marketshare lol.

      I mean if there’s no ads you can possibly interact with, neither this Firefox system to anonymize ad interactions nor the websites themselves got any interactions to track in any way.

        Oh true. But just having an adblocker could make you more finberprintable right? I mean literally any tweak to the browser will add to a fingerprint. But you’re right. It’s all a tradeoff between privacy and fingerprinting.

          Fingerprinting is about privacy, and the privacy you gain through blockers far outweighs that lost by fingerprinting. So keep it up :)
