You can lie about your fingerprint very much in fact it is the default on librewolf
You can lie, but that doesnt mean that a website cant still tell your base OS if they use JS platform fingerprinting. Arkenfox, the base config which Librewolf is based off of says the exact same thing. Go to CreepJS and see it get your platform regardless.
You sweet summer child I use noscript
Firstly there is no need to be condescending.
Secondly, do you block all JS? NoScript is not a silver bullet and doesnt stop fingerprinting, it is itself identified by the CreepJS test site. It may in this case reduce the chance of OS fingerprinting, but pure CSS methods exist as well.
Additionally, NoScript is laregly redundant with uBlock Origin since you can do everything that it offers, such as blocking 3rd party scripts/iframes/all, block fonts, block JS, and it is very granular.
Bottom line, you are fingerpintable.
It's my understanding that websites can identify your OS and there's nothing we can realistically do about it, but it has something to do with how fonts are rendered. I'm not an expert, but this is what I recall from trying to obscure my OS from websites.
Here's a post on the matter: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/173233/how-do-i-hide-the-os-i-am-using-from-internet-sites
Javascript isn't that big of a deal.
No script offers more than just is blocking you can block certain elements fonts what all that. It is NOT redundant. And creepjs doesn't even run without js which I don't allow on non trusted websites. Also yeah sorry I wasn't trying to be condescending.
