Blocking your canvas to avoid being fingerprinted/tracked is like walking under the CCTV with a hoodie and cap on. Unless everyone under the CCTV does the same you will not be detected but will be tracked. It might be hard to identify you but you will standout.

So instead of standing out of the crowd why not disguise so well that the tracker doesn't know the real you.

The idea is to use something that gives a fake readout of your fingerprint thus making you look normal but keep changing it occasionally so it leads no where for long time. Try Canvas blocker[1] and/or Canvas Defender for fake readout.
