Since several web features are disabled with Lockdown mode enabled, I wonder what measures Apple is planning to implement to defeat (at least to some extent) fingerprinting attempts to detect the people/devices using Lockdown mode while browsing.

Of course, I want it! (I already go through many other inconveniences for privacy and security).

> Should You Turn it On?

> Yes. Seriously. Turn it on when you have a supported OS and don’t look back.

Amen! I’ll be telling some laypeople to turn it on and try it out (along with instructions on how to turn it off selectively or completely).
