Any hardened version of Firefox, like LibreWolf, would be my main choice.

Nice off-topic comment. Pretty sure by now everybody is aware of that (and other posts) on the topic of using a license.

How do you know everyone is aware? Did you poll them?

Also, this is my new signature line, so thanks.

What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

You're welcome. I appreciate you helping out with normalizing signature lines.

I wanna go a bit beyond, like I'm using arkenfox's user.js but it's not as complete as i would, and I'm using some extensions, and the main part that i would improve is my fingerprinting, any ideas? And for android, going to use Mull but do you have any recommendations?

Seems like you have a better idea than I do about privacy so I'm probably not gonna be much help. However make sure that you use extensions that you trust or use as few permissions as possible because that also can be another vector where information can leak.

Oh and there was a post on here sometime ago about a website that show what kind of information it can get from your web browser so you could use that to check how much info you are leaking on the web at least.

Spreading libre software will bring more privacy than micromanaging browser config ever will. Report issues to get defaults fixed and don't waste your life reinventing.
