I was under the impression that Privacy Badger wasn’t considered useful any more . . . ? They should’ve just recommended using Firefox instead, yes?
EDIT: They spoke to, but IMHO, did not give enough time to, Cory Doctorow and Brewster Kahle. They mentioned Mastodon 👍, and described the Fediverse while not actually calling it that! A bit frustrating.
I saw a GitHub repo that explained add-ons that are “useless” and add more finger printing. The biggest reason of them being useless was generally the fact unlock origin already has the feature too.
This is the GitHub repo wiki you are referring to, hopefully helps others declutter their extensions.

Nice! Stared it this time.
This is factually wrong; as installed plugins aren’t accessible to just any webpage…and plugins actually exist that obscure this anyways.
Not to mention there’s more hardened forks of modern browsers that don’t share plugin information anyways.
Why would librewolf specifically advise that you minimize your extensions to decrease client uniqueness if it had no effect on client uniqueness? Someone’s misinformed, and I don’t think its librewolf.
