Forking to switch a bunch of command line arguments around seems excessive to me. You can simply write a wrapper script that passes the arguments in the way you want them to be passed.
Enabling those options does nothing to improve fingerprinting resistance, it's a completely bogus argument.
Disabling them however, in combination with the recommended extensions that are in the README plus custom user agent handling, does bring tangible benefits.
Finally, fingerprinting resistance isn't mentioned once in the README. It's simply too hard a problem for me to claim that this simple script intends to solve it. You can however use the script as a foundation that you can build custom strategies on top of. More than adequate for that purpose.
Forking permits me to efficiently git rebase against upstream when there are changes, using rerere to remember easy conflict resolutions. A wrapper would not work as two of the options cannot be removed from the command line (and the author refused a PR that would have permitted such a wrapper).
I am the author. Flash support in Chrome is going away soon (but even if it didn't) I am not going to be publishing any code with support for that crap baked in. However, it is understandable if you disagree.
Re: referrer option, as I explained, it's a nop. So no point in having extra code for that there either (I really should remove it).
I had to use Flash two weeks ago to get a food handler’s permit online due to pandemic and terrible horrible choice from a list of 20 options, so I am unusually positioned to disagree from personal basis. I do agree that it should die and I can’t wait for it to do so either!
