IronFox from here:

desktop should “leak” more or less the same data, I think
Weird, my Fennec must’ve had additional configurations I forgot about since it didn’t give out that info. I uninstalled it for IronFox so I can’t check it! I mentioned LibreWolf but that’s on desktop, so no gyro info there
I have no answer to your question, but if you’re looking for alternatives, hardened Firefox forks such as LibreWolf, Fennec, IronFox etc all have varying degrees of anti-fingerprinting features. I know for sure that Fennec withholds battery and gyro data, but gives timezone data, while IronFoxcan spoof the latter with a toggle and reports a spoofed screen size

3·5 days agoThanks for sharing, I was already using a decent anti-fingerprinting browser (Fennec) but the fact that it gave away my timezone made me research a bit more and I’m now on IronFox, which has a toggle to spoof it, and reports a fake screen resolution. Great! I’m now unique on coveryourtracks though

2·5 months agoUnderstood. I mentioned TW3 because I found it to be very anal about Proton versions, but I’ve never had any problems that could be attributed to nVidia with any games I’ve played. I ran the official, close-source drivers

4·5 months agoI’ve had no issues with nVidia GPU and TW3, running it with protonGE 9.26. Try that first if you haven’t already
Interesting, how useful is it if I’m always behind a VPN and browse privately (hardened browser, ad blocker, no-script, never logged in etc.)?
May be wrong but the way I see it it doesn’t help me much?
