TOR browser may have additional anti-fingerprinting measures, but the inevitable drawback of it at the same time is that it will cripple the web by disabling features that are in use by websites for good reason.

you can check your fingerprint here:

I have nearly the same finerprint with old Palemoon (26.5.0) or Firefox ESR (52.5,0)
