Not really.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 11.9 bits of identifying information.



That's a very low value. With JS off or blocked, my browsers convey between 16 and 21 bits (the latter meaning unicity in their dataset).

The amount of information conveyed by the HTTP_ACCEPT headers is especially preoccupying. There is nothing in there, apart from maybe the language, that should leak any info, on a modern browser. And certainly not 10 or 16 bits of info.
