I've heard a few different times that you should have only a minimal amount of browser extensions running because websites can fingerprint you based off of it, but can't I just fake a user agent that says I have no extensions?

Take this with a grain of salt because I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure they aren't working out which extensions you have from your user agent. It's because some extensions change the page in a detectable way. Which can be tracked. That also means that if the extension you have doesn't do something the site can detect, it shouldn't actually mess with your browser fingerprint. The safer option is to keep extensions to a minimum though

I had a bunch of extensions, but deleted them and just used ublock origin filters (since most of them were just blocking different site elements) but I guess it might not actually prevent fingerprinting.
