As DaNeil wrote -

The lack of specific information is still information.

Browsers expose so many environment "variables", the very specific combination of them all make you unique. If you generalize your IP, it is just one variable, which even then can be narrowed down to IP ranges used by your VPN provider and VPN nodes (endpoint locations) you connect most often.

I bet, the best option is to hide in plain sight, even then it could be hard - being too generic in all positions is something unique. It's hard to fool statistics and analytics.
