fingerprinting allows you to be tracked for months, even when you clear your
browser storage or use private browsing mode, so using an anti fingerprint browser
is used specifically to stop you from being followed/tracked site to site

The real reason? Privacy.
Every browser has a unique fingerprint, and people (well, most people), want to avoid being tracked if they can help it.

the question is do website can record our behavior and stock them as big data?
and then use this data to know behavior of each users (i think mostly big companies do that as google,facebook) this was the first point.
my second point is that i think that in recent browser there is a unique ID between the browser and the server that is hidden (maybe using hidden encryption)

To mask/safeguard their online activity and presence as a whole.
Yes, they can if you are not taking any extra security measures such as the use of proxy, VPN, incognito, anti-fingerprint browser, etc. i.e. data being used by marketing agencies for targeted marketing ads. You must have noticed it yourself as well.

websites can and do record your behaviour when browsing their website. But that has nothing to do with a browser fingerprint.
A browser fingerprint is a unique ID that can be made from several attributes of your browser.
Browser fingerprint software runs client-side (mostly through javascript) and gathers as much information about your machine as it can. Your operating system, ram , GPU, monitor resolution and screen size, your timezone, your browser preferences, your browser plugins, WebRTC and canvas IDs and a fuckton of other info that your browser leaks.
All of this info is used to create entropy which is then used to create a hash. In simple words , the info is used to create a unique, random string. This string can be used to uniquely identify your browser across the internet.
Browsers don't have a unique ID which they send to a server. If that were a thing, it would be a dream come true for advertising companies.
What browsers do have unique is entropy, Randomness. That can be used to create a unique,random ID for every browser.

Yes they do.
the Fraud Score architecture has been the most popular architecture for anti-fraud systems. The Fraud Score architecture receive a single parameters and fingerprints using the user's browser. and then, using logical expressions and a statistical data base , assign each parameter or group of parameters received a specific weight in the Fraud Score rating, for example:
1. Difference between DNS and IP country = +7% to Fraud Score
2. Difference DNS from IP subnets = +2% to Fraud Score
3. Unique Canvas fingerprints = +10% Fraud Score
4. Gpu params = +5% Fraud Score
Gpu model, Fonts, Webrtc, voices....etc.
As a result of this analysis, the machine learning will process the data and assign a score to the user. if this rating was below 35%, the anti-fraud systems will consider all the user actions to be legitimate and human-like. With a slight increase in the rating, the protection system limit the user’s actions. and with a significant increase in the rating, the user will be blocked immediately.

unfortunately no! but i will expand the topic and describe how anti-fingerprinting can be done through multiple firefox extensions and maybe VM.
we will look for the best approach to ensure that anti-fingerprinting can be done with little budget!

Thank you for your answer IG Professor but as you can see we discussed the subject more deeply 1st to understand why do anti-fingerprinting is used so we talked about fingerprinting in details.
secondly we are now looking for ways to achieve anti-fingerprinting process without using paid membership on any paid browser.
kindly
