It would be perfect except that the fingerprint protection includes forcing the screen refresh rate to the lowest common denominator. Scrolling is unbearable.
They need to report whatever number they want while always using the highest rate instead.
it's worth noting that this is the intended behaviour for privacy.resistFingerprinting. this is not exclusive to Mull.
I know it's intended, but I find it unusable. Report what you want, but disconnect from the actual refresh rate. Best of both worlds.
I wholly agree with you there, I'm just saying it's the same behavior on all browsers built on Firefox. true for desktop as well
