You are actually easier to track using these addons.

By installing Canvasblocker, Decentraleyes and NoScript you are providing more entropy to trackers and thus making it easier to track you. Imagine how many people worldwide block specifically Canvas, have weird looking network requests to certain js libs and have JS disabled for some (/all) scripts combined with your general setup (window size, font size, and many other factors that do not even require JS).

The Tor project explicitly suggests to not install an adblocker for example because of this.
