It does the canvas anti fingerprinting with it's letterbox style display... Is strict with cross site cookie denial. A few more differences. Check out mulls site. I found it pretty detailed in its explanations
Add to that, no telemetry
True! I was shocked looking at my pihole logs and see how much Firefox phones home for that crap the other day.
For example: Firefox today on my pihole.
Can you turn off privacy features?
I still want most things for convenience, but the one thing I want to get rid of is telemetry and somehow I just can't seem to completely get rid of it with firefox (I've tried both nightly and default firefox)
So a browser that gets rid of all the telemetry and then allows me to enable other things that I want would be fine by me.
