Hiya, just switched to LibreWolf due to Mozilla's recent actions... Just quickly wondering why these two "privacy preferences" are off by default? Are they not worth ticking off? Or is this another "part" of ones fingerprint that makes it more unique?

The reason these aren't ticked is that most people don't tick them, so you're sending websites more data than you would otherwise, and websites don't have to respect these requests at all.
