> So maybe the solution here is coming up with a 'secure browse' profile that every browser reports the same fake fingerprint.

There already is: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

This also has the advantage that no other solution has: it completely hides your location as well, whereas even with a "standard" browser, your IP address + time zone alone can do a lot to identify you.

I just checked now - many are but certainly not all. There are a couple of things that probably affect practicality a lot, like referer sending.
