I’m the Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot, aka NEPTR.

Linux enthusiast, programmer, and privacy advocate. I’m nearly done with an IT Security degree.

TL;DR I am a nerd.

  • Canvas blocker is redundant with Librewolf’s protections (privacy.resistFingerprinting), same with JS blocker redundant with uBlock Origin. You make yourself more fingerprintable. It is better that you first understand what protections you have and why before adding new addons that increase attack surface. The features you are looking for are included already.




  • That is not what I was referring to. DoH is easy to access in the settings, but with a SOCKS5 proxy you want DNS from the provider to avoid fingerprinting of your location by using a network or DoH provider, which may be a geographically closer server because of your host IP.

    Under about:config, change “network.proxy.socks5_remote_dns” to true.

    I don’t know definitively why they were fingerprinted to there local city, this is just a theoretical reason.
