    It does to me, and also to many other users.
    No title bar, no toolbars, (light theme) and compact density, that's how I like it on my 27" screen.

    imdb beat me to it. And I didn't respond to Trooper's request as I didn't see any need to it. It is easy to see for yourself what no title bar, no toolbars, (light theme) and compact density settings look like on your device.

    Canvas-Blocker?
    For Firefox i dont use this any longer because it already has a (mild) canvas blocker. And (most of) the rest is blocked by ublock/umatrix.
    result "your browser has a randomized fingerprint"

    And next time please add test page:
    https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/
    At least I give a **** on such tests, I am already identified by using logins. 1 of ~300.000 is a joke.

    You need to turn off all javascript but this would mean that a lot of pages wont work for you any longer, broken..

    Thanks for this. I was just surprised that Firefox failed this test where Brave did not. Did not send the link because I forgot. Thanks.

    I did not, because I did not know how to block it. I tried Canvas Blocker but it did not help. Assume that is in about:config?

    EDIT: Found it in about:config

    Failed the test.

    Try disabling Favicons in Firefox.
    about:config
    browser.chrome.site_icons = Flase
