124.0 significantly backslide on browser fingerprinting protection
this is relevant to privacy & security, as well as websites
browser fingerprinting is a serious threat to privacy & security.
fenix 123.0 & 1240a1 eventually achieved "non-unique browser fingerprint" in std pbmode as tested via covefyourtracks.eff.org
however, since 124.0 & 125.0a1, browser fingerprinting protection has slid all the way down to "partial." orbot-hostile Brave Andro always achieves a fully "random browser fingerprint." all i want/expect from fenix is a robust & reliable "non-unique browser fingerprint."
my fenix UI P&S is always set to Strict & GPC enabled. i haven't changed anything. no 3rd party cookies. caches cleared, etc, & always uses expert mode orbot proxy.
why this very unwelcomed fenix backslide?

123.0 & some 124.0a1: non-unique browser fingerprint, but wobbly in 124.0a1
124.0bx & 125.0bx: nearly-unique browser fingerprint
124.0 & 126.0a1: partial (weak) browser fingerprinting protection
