The software stack on a modern cellphone, or of a browser, is about as likely to stop fingerprinting as a sticky-fingered burglar already in the police database can, in an oil and sugar factory, prevent his identification after touching every knob and lever in a warehouse of machines by wiping off the door handle on the front door alone. Rules are important because we cannot prevent crime from occurring at all. Though a truly isolated, truly privacy-preserving technology may seem on the horizon - whether it be through statelessness, homomorphic encryption, distributed governance, or some other odd and yet unproven technology, I can only hope we can one day look back on the sorry state of affairs today with nostalgia as the rash and haphazard painful afflictions of passion for the stars and the unlimited potential we set ourselves out for today.

Librefox does a decent job at resisting fingerprinting, at least against the fairly standard service that we used at my previous company.

I'm sure with a little effort it could easily be defeated, but for some purposes it's enough.
