Unlock Origin, Ghostery, and what else? Scriptmonkey maybe?

They'll stop it.

Nope. Try Creep.js. It is real creepy.

Ooooh, no they won't stop this. It's the workaround for tracking with all the things you just mentioned.

You have to either mask the fingerprint like how Brave does, or spoof the headers and block JS to make the fingerprint useless.
