In my tests only Tor was able to prevent that, but using Tor will give you bad rankings on payment sites like PayPal, you may even get banned there.

That site is now black, surely a coincidence. Here the archive.org link:

Is this an ad? Of all the things I was expecting to see when I clicked that, "Contact Sales" was not one of them.

Further, this is not the only form of fingerprinting, there is also e.g. TLS fingerprinting [1].
Programmers should tell people that browsers and the internet are not private, and that everyone who claims otherwise does not tell the truth.
There should be more discussions between people more skilled than me, if and how such methods can be prevented. And that should be documented well. Including how to prevent getting blocked on sites.
A creative attempt would be when millions or billions of users have a software (self chosen!) which randomly visits sites, when the computer is not busy. This would not prevent fingerprinting, but the collected data would be useless (Someone in the other thread suggested that).
Another method would be to declare it illegal and require workers to report such methods to the authorities.
