How do DRM and Reader mode leak data at all?&lt;p&gt;Also, Safe Browsing, DRM, Search suggestions, Telemetry and Health report can be disabled in the preferences UI. Don&amp;#x27;t need sensationalist about:config protips for that.</text></comment>

You can change the user agent with an extension to keep it identical with the most popular Firefox version, but then you have to manually keep it up-to-date.</text></comment>
