Well, crap. Thanks for that!

Anyone with FF-plugin chops care to make a better version?

The Tor Browser, of course!

Source and binary releases are available - I suggest using the 3.0
alphas to help us improve them for general use:

As an alternative to the Tor Browser i suggest the following: 
On this site you can check your browser "visibility": http://ip-check.info/?lang=en

I think with the JonDo Firefox profile (https://anonymous-proxy-servers.net/en/jondofox.html) and these addons it's not easy to fingerprint you:
- Adblock Edge
- BetterPrivacy
- CookieMonster
- Disconnect
- NoScript
- RequestPolicy

About a week i published an article about RequestPolicy on my IT security blog: RequestPolicy – Mehr Kontrolle beim Surfen
It explains some tracking and why RequestPolicy is a fine Firefox addon.

It's in german, but you can use Google Translate.
