For my friend's site I just use a socks proxy with a version of firefox. Browser fingerprinting is one of those things I feel like people don't understand what they are trying to prevent. Like when I have convos with people about tor and they are like "no you must use tails OS to be anonymous" it's like no? If traffic leaves a tor exit node and enters my site I have no way of knowing who that is. If I use torsocks and ping cannibal.cafe it's impossible to know it was me. However, if you sign into your account with the tor browser, I reasonable suspect it was you regardless of any "anti-fingerprinting measures". The fingerprinting measures protect against big sites being able to track you, but even then if you log into your accounts they know and cloudflare controls most internet traffic and they must be able to differentiate between actual tor users vs. bad traffic. If I controlled all pedi sites and you had a unique fingerprint other than the tor browser, I would know it's "maybe" the same person, but if you just used a simple and unencrypted proxy service it's pretty much the same from my vantage point as you using whonix.

tl;dr installing a browser in whonix and editing the proxy to use tor is reasonable if you only visit a pedi site with it since no pedi admin can do anything with your "browser fingerprint" they didn't know by you signing into your account.
Sharkey was amazingly well in the tor browser wants you disable DeclineNoUserInputCanvasPrompts. It's kind of surprising
