I would like Privacy Badger to keep aggregating information from users who volunteer to do so.

I use the following extensions for browsing "security" (ha!):

Disable WebRTC

Canvas Blocker

Firefox Multi-Account Containers

LocalCDN

Privacy Badger

uBlock Origin

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.

Maybe fingerprinting is not what they're trying to secure themselves from.
