Or Firefox will end up with a worse UX than before. I'm pretty sure the spying sites offer the cumbersome solution only to browsers that have ping disabled.

What you need is a browser that claims to honour ping but doesn't.

I do not think Mozilla can keep that secret.

Neither the code nor the server has to know which browser you are.
