I’m fairly sure it’s deficiencies in StatCounter’s measurement that’s accounting for it. Statistical noise, basically.

Yeah that’s what I mean - it’s not that the file size reduction is minimal, but that the benefits of that are fine, but not earth-shattering.
Oh! Note that in Settings under Network, there’s also a VPN setting that allows you to manually configure a VPN. It has an “Import from file…” option, so presumably, there’s a way to obtain a config file that should make it work. If not, knowing which options to set might work as well.
A VPN is definitely an example of software you should use rpm-ostree to install.
I think it’s fine if you use rpm-ostree for it, but it’s not necessarily required. I recently found out that the Mozilla VPN developers are experimenting (!) with building a Flatpak, and having tried it myself, it works very well.
What is it with this obsession with JPEG-XL? I keep seeing it mentioned on lots of threads, but as a user, the benefits seem marginal? Like: would be nice, but I’d expect more significant benefits from something that’s brought up this often - so which benefits am I missing?
It’s also clearly still in development and doesn’t really work well yet, so while fun, probably not something you’ll want to use yet. It’s not even at the point where reporting bugs makes sense.
Yes, every browser caches resources that multiple pages of the same site use, unless the site instructs them not too.
It is also the case that almost every modern browser does not share those caches between different websites, to avoid providing a mechanism for them to share data. This means that for websites, it is no longer beneficial to use CDNs, if it ever was - in practice, it was also the case that only very few CDN resources were actually shared between different websites (since they all depended on different versions or different CDNs).
The best thing you can do is not mess with the settings and leave them at the defaults, otherwise the mere fact of some data not being available already makes you stand out, in addition to breaking some websites.
It’s on the roadmap, though I imagine doing it properly is going to take a while - the test build was very rough, just to verify whether it was even realistic.
As @denschub@schub.social always emphasises: make sure to file a report at https://webcompat.com!
We ask everyone to file their reports, because all reports are really useful. Even if we don’t respond to every single thing you report, it’s a signal that we’re processing in many different ways. (…) please, keep reporting all issues you see, because every single blip counts!

Was also asked about and answered in the recent AMA on reddit:
Unfortunately I have the same symptoms you do… On GNOME.
It doesn’t always happen, but every now and then the system will get into a state that suspend doesn’t work.
It means that on systems with apps installed written with libadwaita, will also have libadwaita installed, rather than just GTK. But those apps will look like GNOME apps, which might look out of place on e.g. a Windows or Xfce desktop.
Yep, see https://relay.firefox.com/faq/#phone-masking-faq-question-how-many.
(Unfortunately, phone numbers are expensive, whereas email addresses are not.)
It’s VoIP-based, so yes, there are acceptance issues. Also good to be aware of: as opposed to the email masking, you get just a single phone number (more would be too expensive).
Still, kinda wish I could use it here outside the US.
It’s a known issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1851083
There’s somewhat of a workaround there, but hopefully it’ll just get resolved properly soon.
Haha I appreciate the candor!
Seems like a bit of an overreaction. From what I can see, it’s mostly that Ubuntu don’t seem confident enough to ship this without more rigorous testing (i.e. they think it might introduce other/more severe bugs), so they want resume doing that testing before shipping it. Doesn’t really seem harmful to anyone that didn’t explicitly choose to use Ubuntu.
It’s hard to tell, as there are so many things that influence it. A huge factor is selection bias, as only a small number of website embed StatCounter, and that’s very likely to not be a representative sample. I’d bet that the influence of that is magnitudes larger than of user agent spoofing.
