I have a similar requirement and use a self-written script in Tampermonkey, in which I falsify the wrong time (GMT) to the correct time just for websites I have previously defined. Specifically, I overwrite the newDate function on these.
This means that Librewolf always displays the wrong time (GMT) by default, except for websites I want to have the correct time (which just are a few) without the need to disable RFP.
Any chance you could share your script? I've tried a few browser extensions to solve this but they never seem to work on the sites where I actually need them. Your approach sounds way better!
Yes, of course. You will have to adapt it to your time zone, as the German time zone is currently hardcoded. If I had known back then that I would be sharing this at some point, I would have tried harder. 😅
Thanks! I successfully modified your script to adjust for my local timezone. Definitely seems to work on your example webbrowsertools site, though I still can't seem to make AWS happy. no idea where they're pulling their timezone data from, but it always shows me UTC no matter what (and yes, I followed your @match examples adjusting for amazon - the script triggers, just doesn't fix the time displayed for instance monitoring the way I want).
anyway, thanks for sharing your script. I love it! I'll keep playing around to see if I can figure what AWS actually uses to determine "local timezone".
This is super rad
This isn't needed anymore. You can configure exceptions for RFP, for example:
defaultPref("privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains", "*.foo.com,*.bar.com,*.foobar.com")
