I made a nicely written comment, then accidentally deleted it, so here's the super pithy version with examples omitted, since I don't want to retype on my phone.
I use uMatrix with strict defaults for privacy. I agree diddling is annoying. I find diddling with sites more annoying.

it does make you appreciate it a lot more when someone has their shit together, if the site works with noscript and doesn't pull in scripts from 20 different hosts

I was super impressed with https://shop.balance.com/ recently (actually the site is run by worldpantry.com) — I made it though the entire checkout flow with no js and no third party resources. An e-commerce site!! They're normally the absolute worst.

The way I read their product description the extension does not block anything at all. It only detects fingerprinting?
"Dont FingerPrint Me (DFPM) is a browser devtools extension for detecting browser fingerprinting."
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dont-fingerprint-m...
extension is able to block most of the fingerprinting attempts. If you guys know about better "plug-in" solution, please let me know.
I don't want to sacrifice basic comfort of browsing though, like disabling .js, wiping everything on browser restart or diddling with uMatrix on every website.
