Is running Librewolf without disabling fingerprinting worth it? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Without disabling fingerprinting, zoom options aren't saved, dark mode doesn't really work and Netflix is blocked. But is it even worth running Librewolf if you enable fingerprinting? Isn't that one of the main reasons why one runs Librewolf?

librewolf is all about privacy and being minimal compared to firefox. most people be like i have nothing to hide so i dont need privacy, thats why they dont use librewolf. but if you want to disable fingerprinting for convenience and give up privacy, then go ahead. i mean its still better than firefox without any mozilla bullshits and telemetry

Mullvad Browser is likely better, since it's basically Tor browser without Tor.
