Guys,consider that I was (today I am retired) an IT security.

Then it's strange you were not aware of this simple setting which is there for ages.

*** Canvas test ***
I get the same result in Edge.

For me it is more than enough.

Unless there is something I'm not getting

I think @Sampei.Nihira put it all there. I follow (according to my taste and needs) arkenfox's user.js prescriptions.

Two points to add. 1) I (nowadays) use this relatively unique profile in a unique browser to access the big cats of the e-oligopoly. As a foreigner, therefore, all data in this profile are belong to them, so to speak. There my contribution to thee. 2) I even surf in what they manage to suggest, and let them bots spy each other spying my not clicking any of the bait. So far I still get the fish, so I'm not thinking much of plan b, seriously ;P.

But of course such hard settings break the functionality of many websites. That's why I usually prefer other settings.

That sounds wise and well informed

Jaw breaking success! @AstroSkipperis the first one to successfully fake and randomise the fingerprint in Firefox (Mypal68).

This needs to be patented and saved in a dedicated topic, memorised for the future generations!

Thank you for sharing, AstroSkipper!

Arkenfox stuff (including its precedents) has been around for more than a decade, I reckon. So has UB. Both work well in mypal68, provided you read with attention. 

[dmiranda]

Just as an illustration, see the printout of lightbeam (addon that shows the sites you visit, and the resources (cdn, fonts, etc) they take from the cloud. These are 200 pages/subpages I visit almost daily, for work  and leisure (all mainstream). For my research I have similar pics in sp52. If you visit those sites without proper settings, the app will show not the neat balls you see below, but a bunch of interconnected meshes made of sites, and of the common resources they use to keep our attention. To avoid that interconnection means privacy. But that information remain in your isp, and the multiple cloud-spaces where (generic) you have most of your data, which makes that information a security issue. For that reason, site/tab isolation (containerization) is a must. And for that reason, you should use, if your hardware allows, multiprocess.

Just for clarification, I do not and have not previously used Arkenfox user.js in Mypal 68 (or any other Firefox-based browser, Edge or Chrome which are all definitely off-topic here).

As Sampei.Nihira requested, ok, here:

Gawd ..

privacy.resistFingerprinting

So yeah, its keeps the browser at the preferred space but I expand it anyway to fit my screen which makes me even more unique.

As as to:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-against-fingerprinting

privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterbox

https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/23313/today-there-is-privacy-resistfingerprinting-letterbox-which-prevents-firefox-tor

with that set to true it makes it not enjoyable so I go without it. 

Just sayin, is all ... hopefully @feodor2 will come up with something to scramble or poison the canvas.

Hi @XPerceniol, in mypal68, Chamaleon (successor of legacy xul random user agent extension) allows you to fake your screen size, among other things. It won't protect you from super-agent Maxwell Smart (CONTROL), but it will keep your privacy with most sites, unless you whitelist them (as you have to with the e-oligololy).

[XPerceniol]

Thank you, @dmiranda, very much appreciated that you took the time to tell me that. I still have a lot to learn really from you folks.
