Mobile Device Fingerprinting Test Results, Concerns, and Questions
For this test, I used a variety of device ID and fingerprinting apps, but it turned out that using only one was sufficient. The results you can see in the table below are from Fingerprint OSS Demo app - the same company made this that's behind the powerful https://fingerprint.com. Instead of posting the actual ID values, I replaced them with single-letter representations. All profiles are exactly identical aside from what is in the Setup column.

Reddit just "recommended" me a community about the city of Bari, which I googled on Google Images yesterday for the first time in my life. How did it know?
Probably through fingerprinting. There was a post here about https://fingerprint.com/ not too long ago. Go there and press the "View Live demo" button. Now do the same thing in a private browsing window. There's a good chance it'll still know it's you. The best thing you can do is to set the resistfingerpinting option, as mentioned by others, but still this doesn't work 100% of the time.

Privacyguide makes Mullvad Browser number 1 in recommendation - what are your thoughts?
I am not sure about the state of Goanna's randomization tech, but I know that they don't implement spoofing / randomization for a number of variables that are used by fingerprinters, like hardware concurrency. For example, Firefox's impl includes the following code:
- Firefox Rolls Out Total Cookie Protection By Default
-
Firefox rolls out Total Cookie Protection by default to more users worldwide
https://fingerprint.com/
I also tried setting privacy.resistFingerprinting = true in Firefox, but it's sad to see that most websites become unusable (most sites using canvas just render a green/purple mess), zooming in Google Maps is basically broken (skips several levels at a time), and like others have mentioned dark mode and time zones also stop working.
What a mess the (somewhat private) web is nowadays. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced legislating privacy is the only way out of this arms race we seem to be losing.

You are. Compare the fingerprints of your two browsers: https://amiunique.org, https://coveryourtracks.eff.org. Very likely, the fingerprints are very similar. For anonymity, use Tor.

Is EFF's PrivacyBadger still worth it, and is EFF's CoverYourTracks right?
Hey, what do you think about amiunique.org? Seems to get fingerprinted even when using Tor Browser with Safest security setting. Of course JS enabled on TLD.
I recommend you try out amiunique.org. It gives a slightly better overview.

Microsoft is forcing Outlook and Teams to open links in Edge, and IT admins are angry
They are better at some aspects, yes, but also easier to track because of others. So few people use FF that your setup is likely unique, making it very simple to track around the web. Go try a sight like https://amiunique.org/ and test your browser.
