LibreWolf no longer protected under EFF's "Cover your Track" and "Am I Unique"? (lemmy.ml)

I am forced to use JShelter to block myself from fingerprinting. Or am I doing something wrong? I've not messed up the defaults in any shape or form.

I've actually noticed an improvement in Cover Your Tracks' rating from "nearly unique" to "partial protection" lately. Never tried it with "Am I Unique" so not sure about that one. I've heard the issue with Cover Your Tracks is that it looks more for randomization as fingerprinting protection rather than the way LibreWolf is designed (more of the "blend in the crowd" method) so Brave, which randomizes but (supposedly) doesn't offer quite as strong protection, ends up appearing much better than LibreWolf in CYT's rating.
