Comment (by mt2014):

 For Single/Static fingerprint to work the userbase must be very very
 large. If not big company/government will just block access to that one
 fingerprint. Not hurting their income, its just very very very tiny
 market.

 If you randomize your fingerprint with other big 4 browsers (with default
 setting), Big company cant just block you, if they do, they will also
 block very large userbase. which unlikely they will choose that route.

 When speaking Anonymity static fingerprint will never gonna provide true
 Anonymity. Because every big company/government know how to block
 TorBrowser & Jondofox if they want.

 Here's some prove:
 -) all chinese user cant access anything when using jondofox and
 torbrowser, because its easily recognized and blocked by government.
 -) user cant login/signup to getpocket.com using every single "true"
 privacy browser like dooble, torbrowser, jondofox)
 -) you cant signup google adwords account using torbrowser, your account
 will be banned in no time.

 true anonymity is "everything randomize" which means they dont know what
 browser you are using, or any info about you, because it keeps changing.
 you are like a ghost, they cant recognize/block you.
