Just saw this today:

An ongoing comprehensive user.js template for configuring and hardening Firefox privacy, security and anti-fingerprinting

Good news! The latest Firefox 72 blocks third-party fingerprinting by default.

there really isn't any simple way of being fingerprinted that I've come across other than generating noise, but I am not an expert in this area.

Anyone else want to chime in that has experience in this area?

I am not an expert in these but isn't' tracking IP address also part of fingerprinting ? If thats the case, other than using something like TOR, can you really hide that ?

Have you tried setting privacy.resistFingerprinting in about:config?

Use tor browser, its designed so that every one has the same fingerprint iirc.
