But LibreFold in it's default setting also means that it will start in certain default window sizes (so the window/screen size cannot be used for fingerprinting), by default the Canvas API is disabled that many websites use for Image manipulation or rendering complex stuff, ah, and it defaults to reporting UTC as your timezone, so you get half the year the correct time if you live in London, UK.
And yes, the moment you start to customize your browsing experience with extensions, you become
again more fingerprintable. There is no magic here. The EFF site (if memory serves) has one useful aspect, it shows you how unique your fingerprint is -> how many browsers configs like yours showed up in the month or so at their website. If there are millions others, you are relatively safe. If there only 50000, less so. If there are only 10 other browsers like yours, … -> if it's unique, then it does not matter if you use a VPN or Tor.
That's why you should use the Torbrowser with Tor, btw. -

Got my location wrong.
Everything else is information needed to communicate:
Language
Browser
Screen stats
Time zone
Battery level is denied
Some cookies stored because but it doesn't realise they are erased on app closure
…The reason it got your location wrong is because what it's actually detecting is the point at which your computer connected to your internet service provider.
Mine was also wrong, but only off by one state. At other times, other sites that purport to know where you're located have been off by as little as half a county. Only once has such a site actually identified the township I'm in, but never the actual town.

https://sinceyouarrived.world/taken@petersuber Nothing new, only a page that tries to scare people.
sinceyouarrived.world/taken claims to expose browser tracking – but pulls the very trick it accuses: framing mechanics as betrayal.
"Your device volunteered…" = HTTP headers.
"Battery API hidden from you" = Firefox removed it to protect you.
"Browser masked your GPU" = that IS anti-fingerprinting.
Protection reframed as suspicion, protocol as confession, capability as act. Outrage as aesthetic, not awareness. -

…@CTHW @petersuber it had my location as Los Angeles, which is incorrect, but then in the next paragraph it knew I was in the same time zone as New York, which is correct.

@maggiejk @petersuber
Same here.
And when I tried to input a different name for date/time it kept the VPN server time. -
