JShelter and uBO medium mode to the rescue. Pair that with Librewolf and you're pretty secure against fingerprinting.
Thanks for recommending JShelter! I'll add it to my list

Mullvad has a fork of Firefox they built with TOR (the organization, it does not route over TOR network). Includes NoScript and ublock origin and works by making all browsers the same ( so long as you don’t fsck with it).
You don’t have to use it with their VPN but that’s good, too.
My only complaint is it doesn’t support containers. Otherwise it’s wonderful.
Free the internet. With the Mullvad Browser.
The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It’s produced to minimize tracking and fingerprinting.
Mullvad VPN (mullvad.net)
+1. Mullvad browser is the best when it comes to browse the clearnet (not Tor). Also, if anyone reading this, do not compile Mullvad browser yourself, only use the official binary from the Mullvad site (or the -bin variant if you use Arch Linux AUR) since from my testing, different compiled versions of Mullvad browsers come with different fingerprints.
Using an optimized build from CachyOS and using it on CreepJS will give you a low amount of visits, same goes with the Flatpak build, but the binary from the Mullvad site gives around 2k views, which means that at least 2k people have the exact same fingerprint as you, but of course, it counts the people that have visited CreepJS to test their fingerprint. There is also fingerprint.com which seems to be wayyy more advanced.

This isn't new. Reddit is infamous for this too

You're mistakenly assuming the attributes are binary, stuff like screen resolution, regions, languages all have many possible values to help narrow down and identify you. It really doesn't take that many for you to be identifiable.
Oh right, thanks

Could we just create random fingerprints each time the website was visited?

Yes, but if they combine your fingerprint with your IP, they can see that there are 9 unique fingerprints and several others seemingly changing at random, ergo 10 people.

maybe blocking it is the wrong way to go about though. Instead there should be some way to make the fingerprinting data worthless by having everyones browser constantly change things in the background so the fingerprint changes too
CanvasBlocker addon.
