This [0] is a great set of configurations for the Firefox browser that remove many fingerprinting vectors. It turns on several fingerprint-homogenization features that the TBB project upstreamed into Firefox. Check it out!
(By using this, G--gle will hound you with impossible capchas and privacy-forward search engines will think that you're a bot.)
Most of these fingerprinting vectors are from the browser and the scourge of JS. I wonder about the footprint left by a user who doesn't use a browser, or instead uses some kind of parsing client that just fetches HTTP or data from API endpoint. Aside from the IP address, there are other ways to fingerprint a user based on network requests from various protocol leaks, many are presented here [1][2]. Are there any leak vectors missing from this list?
