Fingerprinting works by collecting bits of information about the browser and device to identify users. Couldn’t browsers see when a website gets such info with JS and either prevent or ask permission from the user for the website to make HTTP requests to upload such information to the website. Idk if they do something like this already.

    Only you are responsible for what you turn on. It’s good to have a description of the feature with warnings about the potential inconveniences it can cause (like LibreWolf does) but the responsibility is still on the user.
