How does a user defend against this, without resorting to a nuclear option like Tor?

html5 canvas blockers / browser fingerprinting blocker for the site linked

your browser is leaking a lot of data, from the plugins you have installed to the fonts & you need to take initiative to patch the holes

here's a website you may find useful: https://browserleaks.com/

The Brave browser has an anti-fingerprinting feature in Preferences -> Shields. It's not enabled by default because of the likelihood of breaking some sites.

It's past time for Firefox to include tor as it's private browsing mode.

Maybe put it at a tier above private, "ghost" mode.

This BS has gone on too long
