> Folks who manually enable our "Resist Fingerprinting" preference (which we don't officially support, and I don't generally recommend - but hey, you do you) are very loud on Bugzilla. VERY loud. To the point where I've had a lot of managers and executives come telling me "Everyone is complaining about this breaking stuff, we really need to disable this so people can't accidentally turn it on." Telemetry let me show that despite being SO LOUD they're still a minute portion of the population. Management's question "Should we block it?" became "No." You're welcome.

Telemetry shows that users who didn’t opt out of telemetry don’t care about fingerprinting. Who’d have thought.
