If I understand this correctly, LinkedIn fingerprints your browser. And browsergate, now, shows how harmful this can be, combined with private data (like your job, full-name and ID) been sold to 3rd-party. Companies are in it to make money, and if something is free, you're the product.

If you think about, to protect yourself: The EFF privacy badger browser add-on [1] try to block fingerprinting.

Also, browser fingerprints are a common tracking pattern nowadays. You can test [2] your browser and please start protect your self: E.g. use add-ons like U-Block and Privacy Badger to block tracking and/or use different browser and devices for different use cases. DNS-blocking with block-list like hegazi [3] is IMO the best option, but also a bit more involved, when you host you own DNS forwarder(s). For example AdGuard Home [4] helps you with hosting your own DNS infrastructure. It's also possible to add block-lists to dnsmasq or unbound and run them on you notebook as forwarders.
