I don't actually know how much this happens - software versioning is the biggest one. Chrome updates every two weeks, Microsoft updates once a month, your GPU drivers get updated semi regularly, etc. Any one of those would break the fingerprint.

Your IP changes way less often so that combined with everything else would be more than enough to track you through browser version changes. Even a new IP with the exact same everything else would be pretty easy to correlate too. It just depends on how much they're willing to track and companies are often willing to track a lot already, including things like how fast you type, what kind of movements your mouse makes, etc.
