I agree, those are good signs.

If these fingerprint protection tools are effective, my main fear is that websites will simply say "Disable your fingerprint protection if you want to proceed", much like many sites currently do with ad blockers. Or if they don't spell it out in plain English, they'll make you jump through so many hoops that you'll switch it off just to end the suffering.

Trying to interact with any major website using the TOR browser has been a complete nightmare. If you aren't blocked outright, you face CAPTCHAs at every turn.

The fingerprint protection this new setting refers to is simply a blacklist of a couple of known JS fingerprinters. Those are not relevant for the majority of users, because fingerprinting with these kind of scripts is only used by a very small number of obscure sites.
