Fingerprinting resistance should be more focused on feeding false information to these algorithms rather than crippling their functionality and thus sticking out from the crowd.

To my knowledge, resistFingerprinting mostly does the latter.

The problem is that "feeding false information to these algorithms" only really works if the algorithms are naive and don't try to detect whether you're lying. If your "feeding false information" mechanism can be detected, you're still in the same position.

Now that I think about it more, yeah sadly. Even worse, it could be only effective on a per script or even just a per site basis.
