You're ignoring the fact that fingerprinting exists and I don't get why.

It's a weird conversation rabbit hole I've been dragged down, where I said something that factually correct, you refuted it

But it hasn't landed in a Firefox release yet.

And then there's been a bunch of back and forth where I'm like, someone is wrong on the Internet and you're like, "I'm Vincent, Vincent's are never wrong and besides, why would it matter anyway?" or something along those lines.

But I've provided evidence of Mozilla using the term in their official publications. To suggest it's mine would be to suggest I coined it.

Your browser already submits information about you by virtue of existing.

What this does is put the mechanisms to ring fence that in place. The same way that the Enhanced Tracking Protection does.

Kinda like how even if you've had an STI test recently, you should still use a condom when sleeping with strangers.

Regarding the opt-in versus opt-out stuff. That's a dead fish. People go with what the default is. By default ETP is on. By default, autoplay is off. By default, HTTPS only mode is always on.

These are all things that happened without my explicit consent and they've all made the Internet a better place for normal people, not like me and you, but normal people who rely on the best defaults possible.

My definition or Mozilla's?

Mozilla said, "hey, in the chance you see an advert on the Internet, this will anonymise the data sent to the ad publishers for you automatically" and you said, "how dare you"!

Let's do stupid then.

Okay, let's go through Mozilla historically using the term

And since we're being silly buggers, here's the commit https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fc7fdaf1bbcf

But if I switch to direct IP access, the favicon is displayed.

It's just Docker containers. If you tell me where to look, I can try and find the relevant info

I appreciate the thought.

Oof, looks like I'm looking at spending £110 including shipping https://www.keychron.uk/products/keychron-k1-pro-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection

Nah, just left them to it. If they cared, they would've messaged. I'm guessing they wanna be left alone.
