I have several browsers on my phone, and only one of them was set up for maximum privacy by default. Wish I remembered which one, but I don't. However, you can test any of them with Electronic Frontier Foundation's Cover Your Tracks.

Only one of my browsers did not have a unique fingerprint, although using EFF's tool I was able to set everything else to max privacy in all browsers. Now that I think of it, I need to go back and find that one that also did not have a unique fingerprint.
