I am inclined to agree with that sentiment.
However I don’t think thats the full story, there are plenty report of this happening on librewolf but I could not find any for firefox with fingerprint protection enabled, neither did i find any for tor (though sites not working on tor is expected and may just not get reported)
Its seems to me that librewolf has a very unique custom implementation of anti-fingerprinting that is not used elsewhere, ironically that means it could be used as an identifier of its own.
In the larger context this also isn’t just about one website. Claude isn’t trying to obtain any fingerprints and simply expects time to progress.
Plenty of other smaller sites that we don’t know might be affected.
I think they are neglecting a real issue because the bug report about it happens, by chance to be an llm site.
