privacy.resistFingerprinting vs. useragent spoof #123

Closed mneyrane closed 6 years ago

mneyrane commented 6 years ago

Some people interested in configuring their own profile using this might not be aware that privacy.resistFingerprinting overrides the useragent spoof (assuming they want to use the latter).

I think this should be noted somewhere when creating a profile.

Resist Fingerprinting is a huge problem when it comes to fine grained privacy configuration and I am a bit inclined to remove resistFingerprinting from the default options. On the other hand are the unified settings as resistFingerprinting uses them probably way more anonymous than a customized profile of the same settings, when only one setting is slightly different.

I am closing this as duplicate of #56, feel free to join the discussion there.
