#26761: Do not use this page! It's heavily outdated.  No offense to the author(s).
This article was probable written decades ago, where browser fingerprinting

anonymous. The page has not been deleted, because wiping knowledge is
almost ever a bad idea. It's useful to document the history and perhaps one
or another optimization might be proposed for the Tor Browser Bundle. Are
you up to it?  Hacking Firefox for Maximum Performance with Tor
Introduction  Tor is known for being secure but slow. If you want to
improve browsing speed a bit, please follow the following simple
