But disabling WebRTC and Canvas makes you easier to be fingerprinted? Most people doesn't block that, so those feature not being available on a modern browser makes you "special" right?

The browser is a complete traitor in this commercial surveillance system.
It doesn't seem possible with any of the mainstream browsers to avoid a "unique" fingerprint. RSS is a good counter-tactic.
In the end, if I have to apply defensive tactics just to read information, I will stop visiting. When I enter a store, I am unique. But I don't let the store cover me with tracers.

I'm not sure which add-on OP uses, but many canvas privacy add-ons simply add noise to the canvas calls.
Disabling WebRTC isn't as much as an identifier, I imagine.

Which is why you should use Resist Fingerprinting option instead, as it makes you look identical to other RFP users.
I use the following extensions for browsing "security" (ha!):
Disable WebRTC
Canvas Blocker
Firefox Multi-Account Containers
LocalCDN
Privacy Badger
uBlock Origin
