Wait Firefox sends fingerprint info?

Ehhh there's really no such thing as "fingerprinting info". Your browser sends info about your PC to every webpage you visit so the page can load properly. Some of them just send more info than others, which makes it easier to fingerprint you.

Check out deviceinfo.me to see what kind of info your browser is sending.
