This 'fingerprint' changes as you login in and log out of various services, so it's not very reliable for uniquely identifying users. Regardless, it could still be used to profile you and then target content accordingly. For example, if you're logged into Hacker News, you're probably a programmer and you're probably more interested in an ad for web hosting than wedding dresses and visa versa for Pinterest.
Can someone explain how this is NSFW? Is it because it's scraping for logins which looks suspicious?

I'm guessing from other comments that it checks logins on a wide variety of sites, some of which may be NSFW. Some employers might not like you accessing NSFW sites.
In Chrome: Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Tick 'Block third-party cookies and site data' Also set 'Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic' And install uBlock Origin, ofc.
I have pretty minimal customizations and plugins on browsers—very few plugins, no ad-blocking, no security or privacy enhancements.
I've had third-party cookies blocked for a long time now and there aren't any sites or logins that break down with them disabled (that I've encountered).
On the plus side, though, you don't have to worry about this crap. I'm logged into several of these sites and none of them show as leaked.
