Using Tor Browser with default settings is probably the least time consuming way of reducing a site's ability to uniquely identify you.
I wonder if you don’t actually use tor but use their version of Firefox if you still get their anti fingerprint benefits, or if being one of the few tor users not using tor makes you too unique.
A big part of the anonymisation of Tor is from the routing, so I'm doubtful that just using their Firefox customizations would be enough.
