If I keep js disabled and then use extension will it still be a fingerprinting issue? (feddit.fr)

I mean for fingerprinting protections I go minimal with extensions. I only have Ublock origin. I want to keep dark reader but for fingerprinting issue I'm not doing it. So if I keep js disabled with Ublock origin (I'm doing it for a while now) and then install dark reader will websites still be able to tell that I have dark reader installed?

This could be a fingerprint as very few people keep JS off and you might stand out.

On the other hand, the browser gives out very little information without JS active. Turn off JS and test your browser on deviceinfo, amiunique, etc and see how many entries are "unknown".
