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.

There's a collection of similar extensions that worked for me to throw fingerprint.com off each time I opened an incognito window. Idk I've heard that having too many extensions can actually make the fingerprint problem worse. If this is a bad approach, I'm sure someone will correct me :D
