>Firefox w/ the Arkenfox user.js is probably as good as it gets in terms of privacy.

No. It's LARP. You either don't care or go with Tor Browser and/or commercial antidetect browsers.

But you shouldn't care, this issue of fingerprinting is overblown. (really reminds me of AI)



Unfortunately, recently more and more sites fail to work with Tor Browser. Notably, I am informed by people who are not me, Anna's archive and libgen.


The sites block Tor, not fail to work with Tor browser itself. I know this is a meaningless distinction for end user.

In theory you could use Tor browser with Tor stripped (I heard this is what mullvad browser is?) or go tor-then-proxy (this is what I often do, because I sometimes use whonix at work). I don't know about libgen or Anna's archive, I don't use them.


Why shouldn’t you care and how is the issue with fingerprinting overblown?
