Simply the OS already makes that difficult, true. Nonetheless, it's one of your best bets.
For those who truly want to stay private, installing plugins on the Tor browser is obviously a no go. Changing any setting or even the window size should not be done. Seriously.

In the end, fingerprinting makes true privacy very challenging. Great introduction to the topic.
And an advanced writeup with excellent resources for those who really want to get into the subject matter.
