I did the tests on fingerprint.com/demo/ and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and they both said I have a unique fingerprint, even when I enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting to True.

You want to

  1. Reduce the amount of data sent
  2. Make the data less unique
  3. Scramble often scraped data to resemble current browsers, GPUs etc

There are addons called "fingerprint defender" which scramble font, gpu details and more. I think they are good but have not looked at the code.

The danger with minimized data is sometimes that the data may be outdated or trackable.
