### Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting is a high [threat model](https://thenewoil.org/en/guides/prologue/threatmodel/) issue that is only [addressed](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.3-Overrides-%5BTo-RFP-or-Not%5D#-fingerprinting) reasonably by Tor.<sup>[1](https://youtu.be/5NrbdO4yWek?t=4334)</sup> Please use the [Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org) if your context calls for **anonymity** and not just reasonable **privacy**.<sup>^[*what's the difference?*](https://thenewoil.org/en/guides/prologue/secprivanon/)</sup>
By default, Firefox blocks [known](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/01/07/firefox-72-fingerprinting/) third-party fingerprinting requests (`privacy.trackingprotection.fingerprinting.enabled`); and as of FF119+, ETP Strict also enables [additional fingerprinting protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting) (`privacy.fingerprintingProtection`).
By default, Firefox blocks [known](https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/01/07/firefox-72-fingerprinting/) third-party fingerprinting requests; and as of FF119+, ETP Strict also blocks [suspected fingerprinters](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting).
Betterfox does not enable [additional protection](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting) known as `privacy.resistFingerprinting`.
