Well, the next best thing is what webkit is doing (https://webkit.org/blog/8042/release-notes-for-safari-techno...) by freezing the user agent.

So as time goes by the user agent becomes increasingly homogenous and so, less useful for tracking.

I believe this change was rolled back, since my User Agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.2 Safari/605.1.15".
