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.

How can you live with yourself?

I do it as a security measure for private institutions and everyone involved has signed contracts. It's not on the public web.

I know right. I was offered a job at a betting site and online casino with those addictive games and shit. Gave that a hard pass, said no thanks, don't think that's the right business area for me. I would feel so dirty going to and coming from work every damn day.
