> Does it hide GPU name that is exposed via WebGL/WebGPU? Does it hide internal IP address, available via WebRTC?

My GPU is reported as simply "Mozilla" by https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/.

The number of cores is also set to 4 for everyone using this config and/or Tor.

This may be true, but allowed third party content makes it trivially easy for Google and others to follow people around the Internet through fonts delivery systems among others.

I had forgotten I was running Ublock origin / Privacy Badger / Ghostry so I was a bit confused with the results from that site.

I think it is Ghostry that is faking the responses but I still have a pretty unique fingerprint according to https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/kcarter?aat=1

Isn't ghostry compromised? Having been bought out by an ad company?

  As near as I can tell, it’s always been owned by Cliqz, who produced some privacy-focused browsers (named Dawn or Lumen) and a search engine (Tailcat) that was ultimately purchased by Brave. The whole thing is majority owned by a German media group, Hubert Burda Media, and while its missions towards increased privacy seem to be sincere, I don’t know if I’d trust them implicitly.
  All that said, the main project looks to be open sourced under a GPL3 license, so distrust and verify: https://github.com/ghostery
