One does not simply “block fingerprinting”.
Fingerprinting is incredibly complicated and very hard to avoid.
You need VPN, Browser with no extentions and fixed windowsize (tor or mullvad), frequent cookie deletion, even the installed fonts/language packs can give them identifiers…
I just checked their tool. With a brand-new private browsing window open, connected through a VPN, and a fair amount of blocking shit layered into my browser, it’s showing that I’m blocking ads and trackers, but that I still have a unique fingerprint. Even tools like canvas blocker aren’t preventing it. Running it through Tor, I have a non-unique fingerprint, but Reddit doesn’t play nicely with the Tor browser. Attempting to use different clean installs of browsers (Vivaldi, Brave, Edge, Chrome (incognito mode), etc.) all have me as unique. Fonts could def. do it; I have to have a ton installed on my workstation.

EFF has a good test which tests your browser
If you have JavaScript enabled all this is useless. So add “disable JS” onto the list.
