This has been the case for years. I develop fingerprinting services so AMA but it's basically a long lost battle and browser are beyond the point of saving without a major resolution taking place.

The only way to resist effective fingerprint is to disable Javascript in its entirity and use a shared connection pool like wireguard VPN or TOR. Period. Nothing else works.

Hello grease monkey and no script, my old friends

Wouldn’t selective disabling of JavaScript make fingerprinting easier? Your block and white list are likely to be unique.

Tracking scripts are usually separate from the scripts that do stuff. But also giving them less info is always just better.
