> Firefox (including derivatives) is by far the most fingerprint resistant

Do you have a source? The fingerprint detectors [0] as well as reddit's banned/duplicate account system suggests otherwise.

Maybe at one point Firefox stopped the fingerprinting, but the tools have quickly found other ways to uniquely identify me.

Try Mullvad Browser or Librewolf, both of which are derived from Firefox.

These projects are made possible because of Firefox's customizability and feature set.

Firefox has a fingerprint resist toggle that may not be on when using vanilla Firefox.

Worth noting is that many of these features come from the Tor Uplift project[0]. I'm not sure if they'd exist if it weren't for Tor's work.
