This seems like nothing. Had Google ever enforced or even inspected its ad partners for use of fingerprinting?

My assumption is that every site that knows how to do fingerprinting is doing fingerprinting and probably deanonymizing against a shared signature database.

Exactly. There is not anon browsing bc of a browser - you have to do a lot more than a browser to be anon online these days.
How about the Tor Browser?
Very hard to link with your name or other elements of your "real identity" (unless you ever give them out over Tor).

Probably only slightly hard to link all the things you do using a given installation of the browser to each other. They do at least try, but it's still basically Firefox, and it's not clear that it's even possible to make an unfingerprintable browser.
