      Your reliance on fingerprinting is very appaling!
      The second I turned on the blocking of tracking with fingerprinting in Firefox your site immediately stopped to show real data (placeholder 45 deg wind pattern shown instead, something of an engineered replacement), so you are actively supporting, actually expecting this to be kept on so you can track or provide tracking of users on the net for others.
      I will never use your services this way - I was about to try a low tier paid service for convenience, regardless of the registration inconvinience - but this way even if you turn off fingerprinting now I will not trust you or consider again a paid tier for long long time, also discourage everyone coming here! Fingerprinting is a blatant attack on privacy.

        @jfv30789 Hi there, I am not sure where you get this info or what info was wrong on your end, but we don't have any support or need for finger printing and our app works completely without any similar software.

          In Firefox (I use MacOS 12.6) go about:config and set privacy.fingerprintingProtection to true. The site will show this engineered view:

          Turning off fingerprinting protection will restore the site to normal view.

            Hi @kkbsyjii, I discussed this with colleagues and basically images in our app are set precisely to work together, so if use any changes it can cause this issue. However, if you use Windy with default setup it will work.

              Interesting. It is an active pattern that moves, not being a static picture by appearance, the static pictures around the edges in the buttons (if they are that) looks ok, also other websites work well (except those doing tracking and profiling), I am not sure I get the explanation of the underlying reason, but that's all right, the result is the same regardless if I understund or not.

              So basically fingerprinting protection is not supported by your web site.
              Actually I need fingerprinting protection, that is an essential tool these days.

              Thanks.

              (I wonder where my previous response went from two or three days back btw...)
