Are there browser plugins that can "fake" your browser fingerprint somewhat? Like, e.g., only showing OS default fonts installed, or fixing screen dimension info, etc? Or would this require forking a browser's code?
Maybe futile, but I'd still consider using it.
Firefox has an experimental fingerprinting protection option built in, which you can enable with a flag: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-protection-agai...
yes, and it's one of the things the Tor browser does to make fingerprinting harder.
But can it be down with an extension to Chrome/Safari/"normal" Firefox?
The Firefox extension "Fingerprint Shield" will show you when a canvas is generated in your browser. You can try it out on Best Buy.

LibreWolf has pretty good defaults for anti-fingerprinting if you just want something that is setup and works.

yes
Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser are your best options, but they aren't browser plugins. Some of their protection is implemented with browser patches.
