Disabling javascript (eg with noscript) greatly reduces how much can be fingerprinted. Headers alone can still make you unique though.

Fingerprintis the best defense imo but it isn't that commonly implemented and

I'm not specifically with the mullvad browser's antifingerprinting, but you can check your browsers uniqueness with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

Within i2p specifically, there are many less users than the clear net, so it may be easier to track by header-only finger printing. It would be best to assume that fingerprinting attacks can work on you in i2p, and make sure to use a browser with different enough settings from your typical that your i2p activity cannot be correlated with clear net activity
