We very publicly discussed our approach to fingerprinting and the reasoning for this. But a basic TL;DR is that we're using a hardened configuration of FPP - which matches all of RFP's targets, except the few known to cause breakage/be undesirable for users. I'd recommend reading that GitLab issue for a detailed explanation, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

FYI: Arkenfox doesn't enable RFP by default anymore either, and LibreWolf is also considering switching to FPP with an approach like ours.
