johnsmith , Safari found on my Ipad wasn’t supported. I think (hope) all their never ending and annoying updates are doing the job.

I got a 'YES' for my laptop using Edge. I have a 'unique' fingerprint. The fingerprint wasn't the problem for me, what you got on the first 2? |

it's good to block ads, and tracking sites.
so 2 yes' are excellent.
A unique fingerprint is problematic (nothing we can do about it yet, AFAIK).
If out of 100,000 people/browsers I have a unique fingerprint, then I can still be tracked.
If I know that a particular "unique" fingerprint visits, jcrew, gap, bananarepublic - as an advertiser, I can probably guess that they are looking for clothing.
This can become more problematic with other "sensitive" websites.
