What about the fingerprinting part?
Just use CanvasBlocker, it changes your ID randomly.

It should be noted that canvas is only one method of fingerprinting, so just randomizing that will not be enough to prevent fingerprinting.
Thanks!
No problem, faking instead of blocking canvas is the way to go, for example the new captcha by Cloudflare uses countless queries to check the browsers validity: https://blog.cloudflare.com/turnstile-private-captcha-alternative/
I'm guessing that if you block it sites will either block you entirely or give you a fallback old captcha.
