Since this is about fingerprinting and not hiding your identity I'm not sure this will help. If you use a public VPN you are removing some data points from the fingerprint but adding a huge new one. After all fingerprinting is about blending in and being like the average user. Adding a few privacy extensions and a VPN and you are much easier to recognise.
