No. Anything that executes Javascript will be fingerprinted.

That being said it depends who are you fighting. For common commercial tools like Cloudflare fingerprinter it might work to some extent but if you want to safeguard against more sophisticated fingerprinting then TOR and no JS is the only way to combat this.

The issue is that browsers are so incredibly complex that it's impossible to patch everything and you'll just end up getting infinite captchas and break your browsing experience.
