Firefox has a problem and Android phones are affected by it

It seems like Firefox has a rather serious problem with telemetry on Android devices. It has to do with the company's 'Glean' system.

Does fennec get around this?

    That sounds like it’s all or nothing. I realize that any item turned off makes you more unique but not every site is making fingerprints using every feature.

    I want to resist fingerprinting without decreasing the functionality of my phone. Only change the refresh rate.

      I agree that’s a problem, but refresh rate is one of the fingerprinting methods, and resistFingerprinting doesn’t offer finetuning options (except canvas permissions?), which is what prevents me from using it

        All true. But I would prefer fine tuning and taking my chances with refresh rate. Still, I’m back on Mull for now.
