Some argue that having as many layers of "protection" is counterintuitive because it makes your fingerprint on the web more unique.

That's a great point.

I'm comforted that you listed largely the same controls as I use, so it seems like at least there's a little cloud of us 'deGoogle' users out there providing eachother some anti-fingerprinting.
