Excellent! Unlike the other similar add-ons, this one seems to retain the cached websites and automatically apply the saved setting. As a suggestion for improvement, any chances to add some sort of UI to see/edit cached (saved) websites? Also an export/import option would be fantastic.

Lastly, I would also suggest swapping the icon colors to show "red" when RFP is actually disabled (privacy compromised) and "green" when RFP is actually enabled (privacy protected). Alternatively, an On/Off button might also alleviate confusion.

Whoa! Not in a million years did I expect this addon to gain any traction.
I love your feedback, and I'm definitely adding it to the roadmap. (super busy at the moment but feel free to PR)

This addon was really only meant for personal use, but I'm glad to see others enjoying it too! :)

    This add-on doesn't *really* do what it says it does.

    `privacy.resistFingerprinting` is a global setting, it can't be toggled off in isolation for a single site. Web pages that are open in other tabs can detect when this setting is changed (by listening for changes to the "prefers-color-scheme" CSS property, for example).

    Too bad, I would have loved for this to work.

    Completely true. We just have to make due with what we got. There weren't (and still aren't) any other addons that offer this hack, so I went ahead and made this addon for myself.

    I would've loved for it to work on a per-site basis as well :)
