[heads up] Be warned about fingerprint protection in Firefox #22

Open kdekooter opened 10 months ago

I suppose this is an issue this project can't fix.

With "Enhanced Tracking Protection" on Firefox blocks certain fonts. e.g. on macOS for the "Humanist" stack: Request for font "Seravek" blocked at visibility level 2 (requires 3)

FF blocks this because of a potential "suspected fingerprinter". And sure - if your machine contains Seravek it is bound to be a mac. I hope they will refine this check in the future so your page is not being mangled.

I guess that's the point of fallbacks?
