Comment(by DC):

 Ok. I guess if people are willing to check whether you are coming from a
 Tor IP address then this would not add any additional protection. But I
 don't imagine that most websites actually do that. Do you really think
 that many websites actually check to see if you are coming from a Tor
 address while fingerprinting you? If that is the case, then using Tor
 Browser could ironically give you a very unique fingerprint.
