How to set timezone without disabling ResistFingerprinting (lemmy.ca)

I recently migrated to Librewolf from Firefox due to Mozilla's recent blunder of covertly adding adware to their browser.

I like the ResistFingerprinting feature for added privacy, but enabling it seems to set my browser time to GMT instead of ET, with most times on webpages (which refer to browser time) ahead by several hours as a result.

Can I define my desired timezone in the browser settings so I don't have to pick one or the other between a correct browser time and better privacy? TIA :D!

Thanks! I successfully modified your script to adjust for my local timezone. Definitely seems to work on your example webbrowsertools site, though I still can't seem to make AWS happy. no idea where they're pulling their timezone data from, but it always shows me UTC no matter what (and yes, I followed your @match examples adjusting for amazon - the script triggers, just doesn't fix the time displayed for instance monitoring the way I want).

anyway, thanks for sharing your script. I love it! I'll keep playing around to see if I can figure what AWS actually uses to determine "local timezone".
