Even with resistFingerprinting, websites will be able to fingerprint you. There is no full immunity against fingerprinting.

Websites already break often with the strictest protections enabled, adding a "super duper strict protections" mode will just lead to bug reports. Even more-than-bare-basic tracking prevention has HN threads full of comments like "doesn't work on <Firefox fork>" because they don't see the connection between fingerprinting protection, WebRTC/WebGL/WebGPU, and websites not working.

People who are willing to take that bet can enable it in about:config.
