Twitter embeds not displaying on firefox

[pakoito]

Probably a request for help more than feedback. For some reason nothing from twitter seems to be loading on firefox, with or without uBlock active.

Found it, it was this config set to Strict. It works on Standard.

Works for me.

Check if you haven't enabled the more strict antitracking protections.

Why not just use a chromium build by itself then?

[Shitty Kitty]

is feature, not bug

EDIT: best non-Firefox browser options are Ungoogled Chromium, Brave and OperaGX IMO

better performance, better privacy by default(anti-fingerprinting, HTTPS upgrading by default, etc.,), integrated(read: native performance) adblocker, builtin TOR for private browsing tabs, IPFS support.

keep using a browser that tracks you and is developed by people who want you in prison bro

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
We study six browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox,Apple Safari, Brave Browser, Microsoft Edge and YandexBrowser. For Brave with its default settings we did not findany use of identifiers allowing tracking of IP address overtime, and no sharing of the details of web pages visited withbackend servers. Chrome, Firefox and Safari all share detailsof web pages visited with backend servers.

"In the first (most private) group lies Brave, in the second Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and in the third (least private) group lie Edge and Yandex."

can I use uMatrix and uBlock in Brave?

They should work fine, but I'd suggest disabling ublock adblockers as the native brave blockers should be faster.
Brave is compatible with nearly all chrome extensions.

Brave is a good, lean browser - but it keeps crashing once every couple of days for me.

And its process cannot even be stopped in the taskbar, requiring a reboot. Never had that problem with Firefox.

wtf is a taskbar

Task Manager, where you can close running processes after some shit crashes but is still running parts of it.

You can add this to about:config.

urlclassifier.features.socialtracking.skipURLs = *.twitter.com, *.twimg.com
urlclassifier.trackingSkipURLs = *.twitter.com, *.twimg.com

Then go to twimg.com and twitter.com and disable cookies & persistent storage for them.

You'll be able to to turn on tracking protection with the embeds visible, while not letting them actually track you.

CanvasBlocker is a nice anti-fingerprinting extension for firefox and chromium. Good option menu.

You still get a unique fingerprint.

There's a fake mode that generates a fingerprint, "But values obtained by the APIs are altered so that a consistent fingerprinting is not possible."

Got any sites in the wild doing fingerprinting? Is the industry doing it at all?

When you're using the extension it just tells you what it's adding in fake mode not if the javascript was being used to track you through fingerprinting. You can pretty much assume the big internet players do use it. I'll quote a paper called; Fingerprinting the Fingerprinters: Learning to Detect Browser Fingerprinting Behaviors from 2021 that says, "We find that browser fingerprinting is now present on more than 10% of the top-100K websites and over a quarter of the top-10K websites. We also discover previously unreported uses of JavaScript APIs by fingerprinting scripts suggesting that they are looking to exploit APIs in new and unexpected ways."
