Turn on Mozilla's compatibility fixes

Mozilla publishes a list that weakens fingerprinting protection on Google’s and Bing’s sites. Sval doesn’t use it unless you turn it on, so those sites get full protection.

A Google service misbehaves for you, and you want to try it with Mozilla’s fixes.

Steps

1. Open Settings › Privacy and protection.
2. Under Fingerprinting, open Advanced.
3. Select Compatibility.
4. Turn on Mozilla’s compatibility fixes.

Details

• The fixes might help those sites work, and the sites can also recognize your device more easily.
• With the fixes on, the Privacy and Security button shows Fingerprinting protection as off on a site they cover, and says that Mozilla’s fix weakens protection there. To keep full protection on that site, turn the switch on. That choice syncs to your other devices.
• Private windows always use Mozilla’s fixes while they’re on. There, the switch can’t turn full protection back on.
