They say it here, but I disagree. Fingerprinting is difficult to prevent but not impossible. Same thing as with malware: You’ll never be 100% protected from malware, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take precautions against it, does it?

Never said we should not try, nor that it was pointless.
I just said it was impossible to avoid, but I agree we should not make it effortless
One way of helping would be to tell people how to mitigate it. Telling them it’s impossible does the exact opposite.
You are the one claiming it’s possible, so you should be the one providing mitigation advice.
The EFF provides pretty sound advice, see the 2nd link in my initial comment.
