I have read that too much anti-fingerprinting could make me more fingerprintable.

Guys, remember: only use trustworthy and popular browser extensions. Using newest and less popular ones means one malicious update and your accounts as well as your PC will be compromised.

Why use a single extension for fingerprinting?
Isn't it better to use an extension like uBol-stripped, which is an ad-blocker and also more effectively improves your security, privacy, and fingerprinting.

Probably is, but there is nothing wrong for us to have plenty of other options.
