Plugging TLS 1.3 user tracking across sessions (clear net > VPN) #488

Open

Description

I have recently migrated (most of) my user.js to this excellent repo, but noticed I had to bring a few extra tweaks across with me from my old version. I'm especially concerned about the abilities provided by session resumption and weakened key regnogiation in TLS 1.3, which makes it possible to track users persistently across browser sessions - even from clear net to VPN (or ToR) and back again).

This was first brought to my attention a couple of years ago, in a PIA blog post by cryptographer Derek Zimmer. The four recommended Firefox tweaks to plug this tracking vector are:

user_pref("privacy.firstparty.isolate", true):
user_pref("security.ssl.disable_session_identifiers", true);
user_pref("security.ssl.enable_false_start", false);
user_pref("security.tls.enable_0rtt_data", false);

I notice this repo's user.js enables two of those options, but not the other (bottom) two; false_start and 0rtt_data. Is there any way to consider adding them to the default list (even if just the 'strict' file)?
