That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense… fingerprinting is going to fingerprint. The whole idea of PB and things like uBlock is that it’s trying to block as much fingerprinting as possible. They won’t catch everything, but they catch a lot of it. The things they miss is just the cost of using the internet in this day and age, (unless opt for going ultra privacy mode and take even more precautions).
My point is, running two similar plugins isn’t going to suddenly make you dramatically stand out any more from fingerprints than not.
