What/Requirements
Ideally, in Mozilla's quest to enhance privacy it would be nice to think about what can be done to make browsers more generic. Integration with an API that reveals just how unique your browser is would be a good start, as well as making changes to make browsers/users less identifiable.
Valve has a repo called Fingerprint2 and you can see a demo here.
I feel calling it "Enhanced Tracking Protection" is a bit misleading if you can still be identified using a simple JS script.
Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)
Educating users on how their browser makes them "unique"
Afford users a way of making their browser more 'generic' to blend in with the 'crowd' so to speak.
