They are completely different.
State partitioning
- Cookies of third parties (like a tracking pixel, does it have the same cookie on different websites?)
- "Supercookies" of third parties (localStorage, IndexedDB)
- Global favicon cache
State partitioning is about cross-site tracking within the same browser profile.
Fingerprinting
- User agent
- Accept headers (language, browser dependent)
- Active scanning with javascript
-- Reading variables, like GPU model and the max number of vertex attributes, etc.
-- Rendering text overlaid to shapes, reading back the color of specific pixels
-- additional locale information, like currencies, dot or comma for decimal
Fingerprinting is stateless and depends on browser, operating system and device.

Brave "anonymizes" your fingerprint by spoofing different browser details every time you restart your browser. Jshelter does this too, and can be set to actually block further connections to a site when a suspected fingerprinting request is made. You can also whitelist sites, and modify prefs on a site by site basis.

What the frick is an HSTS cache? Like remembering HSTS headers for a domain? Because chromium-based browsers definitely do that.

True.
King George Hotz uses chromium
I like FF but I'm still waiting for them to fix the GPU issue.
Surely, I'd have said it finally solves Web question. But Hitler has failed and Googleg will fail. Firefox to the rescue.
