    Using Firefox on iPhone

    edit: Nvm previous result, I got the same result OP did with Firefox and Safari, I realized I was testing on my wifi with a pihole… switched to mobile network only and protection dropped to partial.

    edit2: but Firefox Focus still has strong protection:

      Yeah I got the same result.

      I wonder in the fingerprint is a spoof and the result is a false positive? Because Mozilla says there is fingerprint protection in Firefox.

        I seem to get that same result on iPhone for Firefox, Safari and Brave

        edit: see original reply

        Firefox Focus still has “strong” result.

        I get “Partial Protection” on Chrome and two generic named browsers, and a flat-out “No” for Opera Mini

        Before anyone asks “why” about anything listed here, I have to test webpages for compatibility across browsers. Having them installed is the only way to do that.

        My results were skewed because I was testing through a pihole, switched to mobile and got OP’s result.

        Your hunch is correct, it is a false positive. Firefox uses a bunch of fingerprints across thousands of users, which poisons the tracking data, rendering it useless.
