There are such projects. The problem is that so few people use such browsers that just having that browser is often enough to fingerprint you.

You mean like the tor-browser? It's not that they don't exist it's more that they're pointless if they're not used by lots of people.

Personally I'm more in favour of randomizing some of the properties. That way you don't need to rely on being unique. In the end it's all about how much information you're transmitting about your identity, and while picking a common value is one way of increasing entropy picking a random value is much more effective.

The most popular browsers are all funded by advertising, which has entirely consumed the web.

You don't actually want that. Not giving up those details is information unto itself. You want a browser that gives up the same bits as everyone else's browsers so they can't tell it apart from the others.

I think we can? I mean, technically it's possible. Maybe it even already exists.
