## Description
Fingerprint.JS is able to overcome the anti-fingerprint technique. I've tried this on a number of machines and have only gotten it to "forget" my browser if I quit the browser and re-open.
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Go to https://fingerprintjs.com/demo/
2. Open new tabs, new profiles. Try again. Make sure your shields are on and all turned on to strict/aggressive.
3. Delete your cookies, history, etc. and try again.
## Actual result:
Screenshot attached
## Reproduces how often:
Easily reproduced.
