Alot of people in firefox set Resist Fingerprint to true that contributes to this
How so? Does a non-fingerprinted Firefox always cöaim it's installed on Linux?
On Ubuntu, it used to say Ubuntu. On Arch, it used to say Linux on non fingerprinted firefox
Shouldn't it be the other way around? If you don't want to stand out as unique to trackers shouldn't you claim to be using the most popular OS?
Yes, that is why privacy resistfingerprint option does
Yeah, meaning it wouldn't claim to be a standout like some Linux distro, but Windows
Okay, but not on Windows though, right?
Yeah
Well then this setting contributes nothing to Linux percentage
It hurts
