Don't get it either, just stock FF on stock Android
Stock browsers give a lot of information, supported system fonts, supported system languages, time zone, canvas size, browser window size, there's a lot of data that leaks out from the browser itself.
Install a weird game that installed a weird font into your system? Well now the entire world can uniquely identify your font combination as you.
Makes sense, thanks!
