I just looked up fingerprinting. Yuck. Is there anything FOSS that defeats it?
Firefox has blocked browser fingerprinting since v72 (we're at v117 now) - nearly 4 years now.
Firefox does a decent job blocking it: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/features/block-fingerprinting/
See https://amiunique.org/fingerprint
If Firefox blocks it, why am I unique according to that site?
Not usang their services. I'm doubtful any technical measures achieve appreciable results here.
