    Firefox on Android with strict tracking protection doesn’t seem to block this king of fingerprint :(

      And the user experience of Tor Browser on Android sucks. If your threat model doesn’t include your device being stolen, even the lowest security setting is so restrictive that it’s painful to use.

      TFA mentions setting about:config on android; I’d like to know where they’re getting their Firefox from, because thet’s not available on mine.
