So I have seen comments that bitwardens extension works and want to check if no script does. Since libre wolf is just configuration I figure most stuff should work but not real sure. I looked to see if there was something like a pinned questions thread which I would normally put a minor question like this. Considering recent news maybe instead a moving from firefox pinned thread for awhile first.

Well, I don’t know about OP, but MY purpose for using Librewolf is to have something that is not run by Mozilla and doesn’t call home to Mozilla, has a strong contribution history, exists in nixpkgs, and can be fully configured in Nix Home Manager. Librewolf is the only fork that checks those boxes. The security benefits are just a nice side-effect when they fit with my workflow.

If librewolf is just about low fingerprintability then I don’t think I understand it at all. Thanks.

Noob here - How come browser extensions can be used in fingerprinting? Why is the fact that I have an extension shared with servers? Why doesn’t a browser like Libre Wolf refuse to share this? Is it really ingrained in the we browsing process to pass that info back? It seems like it should remain on the client-side. I can see Google sharing it but why can’t LibreWolf decide not to?

Got it, so it’s not that the browser passes an extension list to the server, but the server could recognize an extensions impact on the page with local JS or something and then send that info home. Could that in theory be blocked?
