I did the tests on fingerprint.com/demo/ and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and they both said I have a unique fingerprint, even when I enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting to True.

Both my browser and network level dns blocker blocked the test attacker site from loading but in general there are 2 approaches to this: minimize your fingerprint data points or change them to blend in with the crowd.

I think for the most part selectivly blocking js and cookies will do a lot for you. You can also block the canvas and limit fonts too. I'd also recommend a vpn as they can associate it with your ip too.

All good tactics..

It will limit some web functionality but you will notice the services that do that shit are some clown data harvesters...

My bank never gives me an issue... Why does reddit jaja
