	Updated 3.3 Overrides [To RFP or Not] (markdown)
| @@ -60,6 +60,12 @@ Arkenfox's primary objectives have always been security, privacy and mitigating | ||||
|    - RFP randomizes canvas to catch naive scripts (most scripts are naive with canvas) | ||||
|    - RFP contains timing mitigations as a bonus against many side channel attacks | ||||
|  | ||||
| **_Do not listen to random [non-experts](https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wi9vee/firefox_and_fingerprinting/ijae7ow/)_** | ||||

| - 🔹 RFP doesn't require a crowd or care about Tor Browser when it comes to naive scripts | ||||
| - 🔹 RFP can't make fingerprinting worse, you are already unique if you do nothing | ||||
| - 🔹 RFP has a net privacy benefit (see the resistance points above) | ||||
|  | ||||
| So if a fingerprinting script should run, it would need to be universal or widespread (i.e it uses the exact same canvas, audio and webgl tests among others - most aren't), shared by a data broker (most aren't), not be naive (most are) and not be just first party or used solely for bot detection and fraud prevention (most probably are) <sup>1</sup>. | ||||
|  | ||||
| <sup>1</sup> That's not to say that fingerprinting is not a threat and won't become more widespread and sophisticated. | ||||
