This is a rather impossible battle to win as long as we insist on having such a feature-packed web. The more we try to protect ourselves against fingerprinting, the less hampered our experience becomes.
I use LibreWolf (a privacy-centric Firefox fork) which normalizes my timezone to UTC, makes my window size less unique, disables certain HTML5 features and a ton of other small tweaks – but it only helps to a small extent, and it's not easy to reason about. I'm just hoping what I do is measurably better than nothing.
There are alternatives to the web, especially Gemini, which have essentially zero fingerprintable surface. But these are mere geek novelties and will never have broad appeal.

Wait a minute, you are talking to some mega geeks.
I like the character based internet experience and Gemini is more polished than those systems I used in the olden days.

I hear you! Browsing gemini reminds me of the very early internet. It's just that it's never going to be anything more or bigger than that, so we're always going to have to put up with the security trainwreck that the web is.

Here I meant "the more hampered".
