Enabling this did weird things to web sites. But it didn't seem to help. Before I enabled it, according to https://amiunique.org I was unique among the 1646592 fingerprints in their entire dataset. After enabling it, I was unique among the 1646593 fingerprints in their entire dataset.

privacytests.org
Source code for privacytests.org. Includes browser testing code and site rendering.
Total Cookie Protection partitions all cookie-like data ("state") between the websites you visit, not just cookies. For a technical discussion, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/State_P...
You can see which browsers partition state (and which don't) in the State Partitioning section of https://privacytests.org. Firefox passes nearly all of those tests because Total Cookie Protection is enabled by default.

fingerprintjs
Browser fingerprinting library. Accuracy of this version is 40-60%, accuracy of the commercial Fingerprint Identification is 99.5%. V4 of this library is BSL licensed.
I also tried setting privacy.resistFingerprinting = true in Firefox, but it's sad to see that most websites become unusable (most sites using canvas just render a green/purple mess), zooming in Google Maps is basically broken (skips several levels at a time), and like others have mentioned dark mode and time zones also stop working.
What a mess the (somewhat private) web is nowadays. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced legislating privacy is the only way out of this arms race we seem to be losing.
