Shouting out loud some professional words such as "audio fingerprint" is nice, but do you know what those are exactly?
Most people in the world have the same audio fingerprint, because it's based on hardware, and most people have the same amount of audio devices linked to their computer.
I'm going to give the same example I already gave on another forum concerning stealth profiles : let's say you have a gigantic pile of white rice, and you have a brown rice grain in it. Which one will be the easiest to uniquely identify? Well, the brown rice of course.
It goes the same way with fingerprints. If you try your best to make your profile look really unique, you might just be way more suspicious than thousands of normal users not spoofing their fingerprints.
WebGL is tied to your graphics card, and I doubt you simulating using an old graphics card to get a new hash won't make you more suspicious. Same goes with Canvas as it's tied to your hardware. (I think more people use a GTX 1080 or new RTX compared to old models graphics card that less and less people use).
tl;dr: It's not because some websites claim in bold titles that companies are able to track you using those fancy names metrics that they are indeed able to. The wikipedia article about Canvas Fingerprinting clearly states that this fingerprint by itself isn't enough to uniquely identify a user. Sometimes, the best way to indeed hide from others is just to blend in the mass. You really think that eBay or Paypal will start banning hundreds of thousands of users because they have the same fingerprints solely because they use Chrome on MacOS (I say MacOS here because hardwares are really similar), or use Safari on iPhone?
