Extensions and Fingerprinting

Privacy Questions
1

I am currently using Brave from my pc and have included ad blocking and privacy extensions such as Privacy Badger and ublock origin.
I have a basic knowledge of privacy, but not much in the way of technicalities (or technicalities). I have been told by a friend who knows a lot about privacy that if I try to block fingerprints with extensions like this, the fingerprints will be unique and stand out from the rest, which will have a negative impact on my privacy. Is this true? And if so, what is the best thing to do?

Use Brave without any extensions.

Thereā€™s a WIP page by @jonah about this topic which should be added to privacyguides.org soon :tm:

When you are already completely unique, becoming ā€œmore uniqueā€ is impossible.

A bit depressing.

Brave already has anti fingerprinting features and an ad blocker, you should stick to those and not any third party extensions.
