Privacy Issue with Waterfox sending its custom user agent #345
Comments
Set This will change the default user agent to |
That setting does more than just changing the user agent. |
Maybe also backport mozilla/gecko-dev@d20c7d929c84 to avoid pretending to be a vulnerable Firefox version. |
If you setup the privacy “privacy.resistFingerprinting” to “true” @jbeich thanks, yes it would be awesome +1 for backport |
That ceased some time ago. Close this? (For the discussions unrelated to the UA, you'll probably find other issues on the subject(s).) |
I noticed that Waterfox changes Firefox's user agent to indicate that Waterfox is being used. Given Waterfox's small user base, this provides a pretty good tracking opportunity. I understand that it is interesting to know how many users Waterfox has, but since privacy is Waterfox's highest priority I think the user agent should be identical to Firefox's.
