I did the tests on fingerprint.com/demo/ and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and they both said I have a unique fingerprint, even when I enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting

Use Tor Browser. Don’t waste your life on micro-optimisation. You will get a lot more privacy with stuff like getting all your friends on Signal/SimpleX, etc.
You’re absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I’m not gonna do that with privacy either, I’m focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.
Tor Browser is the best way.
Try out Librewolf it’s Firefox fork which is hardened out of the box so you don’t have to mess with settings too much.
Both my browser and network level dns blocker blocked the test attacker site from loading but in general there are 2 approaches to this: minimize your fingerprint data points or change them to blend in with the crowd.
I think for the most part selectivly blocking js and cookies will do a lot for you. You can also block the canvas and limit fonts too. I’d also recommend a vpn as they can associate it with your ip too.

There’s a collection of similar extensions that worked for me to throw fingerprint.com off each time I opened an incognito window. Idk I’ve heard that having too many extensions can actually make the fingerprint problem worse. If this is a bad approach, I’m sure someone will correct me :D
One more good plugin in this line is Chameleon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chameleon-ext/
Use LibreWold and/or Mullvad. Done.
