Fingerprint resistance

[fabriziobagala]

Fingerprinting is a technique that tracking systems use to individually recognize you while you browse the internet. It would be very helpful for every user's privacy if Firefox was able to hide:

• Media query screen height (Height of the user's screen in pixels)
• Media query screen width (Width of the user's screen in pixels)
• outerHeight (Height of the browser window in pixels)
• screen.height (Height of the user's screen in pixels)
• screen.width (Width of the user's screen in pixels)
• screenX (Position of the left edge of the browser window on the screen in pixels)
• screenY (Position of the top edge of the browser window on the screen in pixels)
• System font detection (Font installed on the user's system)

You can use the TOR Browser to do this, it's literally forked from Firefox.

@phonics8226 Yes, you are right. However, Firefox is my favorite browser and I would like to have these protections built-in.

@fabriziobagalaTOR Browser IS Firefox. You wouldn't be missing anything.
