Are these anti-fingerprinting extensions actually open source?
You shouldnt use anti fingerprinting extensions, theyre privacy theater at best. And in the worst case scenario they can be used to fingerprint you. https://github.com/abrahamjuliot/creepjs

JShelter (extension) is the only way I've found to defeat CreepJS fingerprinting in Firefox
You can see here, which extensions he implemented detection for.

GPU Fingerprinting?
CreepJS doesn't do any "evasion" per se. If the website detects that the fingerprinting vendors have been "injected", these inputs are ignored. Brave's defenses are universal, if the GPU information is hidden on Cover Your Tracks, it applies to any website as well

Firefox to collect anonymized and categorized search data
Stuff like this makes me wonder why I still cling to Firefox instead of switching to one of the privacy-focused Chromium forks.
I've been using Arkenfox to turn off all the telemetry/etc but it increasingly feels like a game of whackamole.

It's getting hard to use and recommend Firefox, I'm afraid for the free web
Re: firefox and privacy, if you want to use firefox for privacy, consider using https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js . There is a case to be made that Firefox (with arkenfox's user.js) is one of the best privacy-respecting but still fairly usable browsers.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
For extensions, I recommend people follow the recommendations[1] in the arkenfox repo and either harden their firefox or use librewolf. Umatrix is unmaintained since 2019.

Waterfox G6.0.2 had whitelisted search deal partner www.bing.com against user extensions in extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains
If you make time to dig through settings and change them away from their official use (99% of users don't), then you should use a customized setup (in this case, a user.js). That way, you're good to go no matter what Firefox fork you use.

Google Chrome just rolled out a new way to track you and serve ads
> Firefox remains a stable option to come back to everytime
Don't get me wrong, I've been using Firefox for the last decade and I don't intend on using anything else for the foreseeable future, but Mozilla has no idea what they're doing with Firefox nowadays. Firefox View is the most useless thing I've ever seen, that expiring "independent voices" theme picker was some weird hippie stunt[1], the latest UI redesign which split the tab from the window looks hideous, and it's not like Firefox doesn't have things you can tweak for a more private experience[2]. I miss Firefox Test Pilot where they tried out different new features, I found a lot of them to be very useful but sadly lots of them didn't make it.
