Note: none of this prevents tracking unless you also have fingerprinting turned off, which makes things a whole lot less useful. For example, if you like Date.now() to be reliable, and you want to about:config your way to locking down finger printing: too bad. It's one or the other.

It does prevent tracking of websites that don't do fingerprinting. The best is the enemy of the good!

Yeah except in this case Google is the enemy of even the moderately useful. Find any website you like. Odds are it uses google analytics and/or google ads, and good news: that website absolutely uses fingerprinting, even if they didn't implement it "themselves".
