>Having a unique fingerprint means fingerprinters can continuously identify you invisibly
This is not right. If you have a unique fingerprint every time someone tries to fingerprint you, then they have to do extra work to try and figure out which are the same. If you make it always be the same you've made the fingerprinter's job much easier.
Agreed. And this technique becomes more effective as the number of people using it increases. It's easy to match up randomized fingerprints if only one person is doing it, but quite hard when thousands or millions are doing it.
dont use randomized fingerprints, spoof actual fingerprints, randomly.
A good fingerprint algorithm incorporates features and functionality that can't be spoofed because it is necessary for the browser to work correctly.
You can't just make your browser's APIs give erroneous outputs and still expect the browser's APIs to work.
