> 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.
What is "normal" in this case? One correct way to counter fingerprinting is to standardize the fake readouts to a specific value and not change it every so often. So if everyone's browser is reporting the same value for this feature that feature will become meaningless in the context of fingerprinting since its entropy is very low.
That's what Tor Browser has been doing with font enumeration, reported windows size, screen resolution etc. - they all report the same value. On the other hand, you can correlate these values and identify Tor Browser users.
