It's not a binary situation. Lots of fingerprinting is based on e.g. audio or canvas rendering quirks. Browsers should be obfuscating that shit.

100% we should ensure that Browser's restrict fingerprinting as much as posible. I certainly set my Firefox to have many inconviniencies to reduce the fingerprint. I am just saying this is an engineering compromise and the tradeoff will be different for different people. Wishing we can have our cake and eat it dosn't help; you do have to choose between privacy and functionality.
