Same for me, I am using a VPN provider.
Even after installing Privacy Badger, my fingerprint remained unique and unchanged, with 17.65 bits of identifying information.
For comparison, after I disabled JavaScript, blocked remote fonts, disabled cosmetic filtering, and blocked large media elements using uBlock Origin, my fingerprint was no longer unique, and it dropped down to 9.55 bits of identifying information. Obviously, I don't recommend people do this, but it was fun to check it out.
