privacy.resistFingerprinting breaks a lot more than just themes. Many of the weird problems reported in Firefox (and forks) are just from enabling it.

It has some pros but also TONNES of cons. Everything from a completely blank page to wrong timestamps to poor textures and so much more. Sometimes you will be flagged as a bot and prompted with literally infinite puzzles, thus effectively banning you from a website.

Some of these problems get fixed but new ones also get born. I personally use it but I also expect breakage and worse performance.

You can stop this by changing the settings in your browser. In Firefox go to about:config and search for browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction and toggle it so that it says true.

Go to about:config and set “browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction” to true

Go to about:config and set “browser.navigation.requireUserInteraction” to true

You shouldn’t give out your real email address. I instead use randomly generated email addresses that forwards emails to my real one. I can easily deactivate any forwarding email address and therefore stop any unwanted emails.

It works really well and also has other benefits like for example knowing who sold your information if you start receiving spam.

You also gain a bit of privacy and security from being a tiny bit harder to track and your credentials being less valuable in the case that the company you gave the random address to has a data breach.

This video explains the concept very well.

I don’t know a lot about Linus. What makes him a creep?

If you are willing to compromise I would recommend Betterfox as it breaks far fewer sites while still being better than the default Firefox profile.
