When using Tor it is important to be indistinguishable from other Tor users. If you can be fingerprinted by user agent, screen size, fonts, add-ons, or numerous other indicators, then the anonymity set of your browsing behaviour essentially becomes just you.

Hiding your IP is a good start alongside blocking known trackers, but it's only one component of properly avoiding tracking online.
