So Brave and FF Both try to break fingerprinting.

As does Tor... But apparently that breaks much of the Web. I am not running it.

I'm FF & Win11. I run 4 purposely-not-updated extensions that still work on FF, Ublock & ScriptSafe are the primary ones. Ublock just runs unattended, but I often use ScriptSafe to get a site working but without so many 3rd parties (cloudflare, CDNs, & the site's 3rd level domains I do have to allow).

Then I set up the policing extensions to NOT load in Incognito/Private mode. Usually, I will not click through, but if I want to get in and can't fix the site I'll switch to private mode.
