    I finally made a Lemmy account just to comment on this 😅

    When this option is active, of course your fingerprint is unique because of how it works.

    Every time a website fingerprints you with this option turned on, firefox makes sure that the ID is as unique as possible, so no correlation can happen. 😊 Verify this by visiting that site two times and check the hash to make sure it change between the two requests.

    EDIT: fingerprint.com probably use Cookies and/or localstorage so the ID is the same when refreshing, but Firefox have protection in place for cross-site tracking and cookie sandboxing, etc (I won’t pretend like I know how everything work), but those protections helps against that type of services from what I recall.
