It makes first party fingerprinting easier, but it pretty much eliminates third party fingerprinting. It also improves the responsiveness of many sites and improves battery life.

I wouldn't recommend completely disabling it though. Use something like uMatrix to selectively filter things.

> pretty much eliminates third party fingerprinting

Maybe, but there are still ways to send a fingerprint to a third party, even from the client side. For example you could inject a JA3/JA4/TLS fingerprint into URL paths for resources in the HTML, such as stylesheets or images.
