What's the correct way to set up IronFox on GrapheneOS? (lemmy.ml)

I can't get the fingerprinting protection to work correctly on IronFox, but my combination of extensions works fine with Fennec and LibreWolf on desktop. I tried playing with the fingerprinting presets and disabling webGL, but none of that has worked.

I really don't want to use Fennec since it seems to have all the Mozilla bloat. It won't even erase history on close, only when clicking "Quit" from the selection menu, which I think is a fucking terrible design decision.

I'm using this site to see if a random hash is generated on each reload: https://royfish.dev/fingerprints-are-the-new-cookies

I prefer not using a Chrome browser

They're right, Firefox has no sandbox site isolation on Android. Chromium is the way to go.

I know they're right. But I prefer not to use a Chrome browser.

Firefox just rolled out process isolation on Android.

It's weaker than Vanadium's OS native isolation, though it's nice to see Firefox catching up about two years later

I'm pretty sure that's no longer true as of this year. I don't have a reference, but I remember sandbox site isolation being implemented in Firefox (so Ironfox too)
