   Thanks for that suggestion, where I don't know if there's a single   
   well-known commonly suggested "fingerprinting prevention" extension.   
      
    These Extensions Provide Partial or Direct Fingerprinting Protection   
    -----------------------------------------------   
    User-Agent Switcher and Manager : Partial - spoofs user-agent string   
    uBlock Origin                   : Indirect - blocks tracking scripts   
    Font Fingerprint Defender       : Direct - adds noise to font data   
    WebRTC Control                  : Direct - prevents IP leaks via WebRTC   
    Location Guard                  : Partial - spoofs geolocation   
    Referer Control                 : Partial - limits referer leakage   
    Canvas Blocker                  : Direct - alters canvas fingerprint data   
    Trace                           : Direct - protects from multiple vectors   
    Privacy Badger                  : Partial - blocks some fingerprinting   
      
    These Extensions Help with Privacy but Not Fingerprinting Directly   
    ------------------------------------------------------------------   
    Cookie AutoDelete               : deletes cookies only   
    Skip Redirect                   : bypasses redirect pages   
    StayInTab                       : tab management only   
    ClearURLs                       : removes URL tracking params   
    Decentraleyes                   : serves local CDN resources   
    LocalCDN                        : similar to Decentraleyes   
    Browsec VPN                     : Partial f'print'g - masks IP address   
      
    These Are Apparently The Most Effective for Fingerprinting Protection   
    --------------------------------------------   
    Canvas Blocker   
    Font Fingerprint Defender   
    Trace   
    WebRTC Control   
      
   Googling, I see there are two fingerprinting-specific extensions I can add   
   but I need to test them out before recommending them on this newsgroup.   
      
   Fingerprinting-Prevention Extensions To Be Tested   
   ------------------------------------------------   
   1. All Fingerprint Defender   
      Protects canvas, WebGL, font, and audio fingerprinting   
      Adds noise to fingerprint data and refreshes it per page load   
      Includes whitelist support and canvas fingerprint display   
      Free, no registration, no ads   
      
   2. CthulhuJs (Anti-Fingerprint)   
      Obfuscates canvas, audio, WebGL, fonts, plugins, timezone, and more   
      Generates random fingerprints with tab-level isolation   
      Offers persistent settings and flexible switching   
      Free, no registration, no ads   
      
   Apparently All Fingerprint Defender is simple and effective.   
   Apparently CthulhuJs offers more control and advanced features.   
      
   Any others?
