I’ve been worried about this since Google switched to it in Feb this year.
Apparently the short answer is “you can’t”. Which is terrifying. Surely some clever peeps out there can find a way round it (for normies)?

And to test whether this works you can visit

How do I read/use this site? What’s important?
Load it and it fingerprints your browser. You can add a signature to that fingerprint.
Make whatever changes you want to make to resist fingerprinting and reload the page. If it displays your signature then it has identified you, if not then your changes worked.
Ideally, every page refresh would generate a new unique fingerprint so the page can’t link you to the last time you loaded the page (which is what tracking is, essentially)
The site also displays all of the data that it can see, for advanced users
And I pass this test, plus the EFF cover your tracks test, and AmIUnique, all the time.
