With Firefox 145, we’re rolling out major privacy upgrades that take on browser fingerprinting — a pervasive and hidden tracking technique that lets websites identify you even when cookies are blocked or you’re in private browsing. These protections build on Mozilla’s long-term goal of building a healthier, transparent and privacy-preserving web ecosystem.

This is why I haven’t jumped ship despite not being a fan of the AI browser integration. From what I’ve seen Mozilla seems to be the most concerned about preventing fingerprinting, which is the most worrying form of tracking to me. I’m glad to see they’re continuing to try to improve anti-fingerprinting capabilities.

Brave has stronger anti-fingerprinting protection than Firefox. They just use different methodology. Not sure how this addition will change the dynamic.

Firefox focuses on blocking fingerprinting in first place, while Brave randomizes it to make you anonymous as they say that not being trackable is in and of itself a trackable parameter.

If you want to be anonymous in the sense that you blend in with everyone else, just use librewolf.
