I've done a similar thing, qwant, protonmail, firefox (4 different profiles and scores of containers), privacy badger, ublock origin, decentral eyes, but I'm convinced it's not possible to stop tracking. My browser finger print is unique and it doesn't seem possible to change that. Also I have an android phone with google apps, facebook, twitter, scores of other apps tracking me. There's not much I can do about giving google my location data atm. I like waze and fitness apps too much.

Have you checked what factors make your browser fingerprint unique?

  If you're using firefox, you're already in a bucket of only 4.42% [0]. But even without that, just take your screen resolution, browser + os version, font list, your time zone, and you're almost already unique.

    having my timezone set to utc was probably the most annoying thing about the firefox anti fingerprint setting. I never got quick and efficient at doing quick math to know what the local time was in my head.

  It's basically a lost cause to avoid fingerprinting. https://www.amiunique.org/ https://www.amiunique.org/

  yeah, I can't recall every factor but my locale was the biggest one and setting it to US is annoying for spelling reasons. colour vs color, etc. resolution as mentioned is another big factor but that was also annoy having the default resolution. Maybe I would have gotten used to it, but I tried for many weeks with the firefox anti fingerprint setting but eventually gave up, it was too inconvenient.
