Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:
 > If you are using that alpha then you are fingerprintable anyway due to
 you being on ESR60 with all the new features and the other users being on
 ESR52.
 Yes, the point is not to make me "non-fingerpintable" from other TB
 populace but, rather, "''less''-fingerprintable" from the other TB
 populace.

 > The user agent won't hide that fact. Moreover, the idea is to test ESR60
 in its final form (as good as possible) and setting the user agent to one
 for ESR 52 would counteract that goal. Thus, we won't do that.
 That one is a good point. So okay, will stick to the stable release for my
 ordinary browsing and I'll have TB alpha on the side to report bugs just
 like I did last time. Thanks.
