Who's got a browser that comes up reasonably generic on Panopticlick, and what did you do?
Hello, Panopticlick is a demonstration project, how browser fingerprinting works and not a scientific up2date database for actual used browsers. - The database is not a representative database, because most users, who know something about the project and visit it, use a privacy-friendly browser configuration. - Old entries in the database were not deleted. Firefox 3.5.3 has one of the best ratings in this database. But nobody uses this old browser version any more. You will be unique with this user agent in real life. - It is easy to manipulate the database. You can call the page with your preferred browser multiple times and your preferred browser will be higher rated. Best regards Carsten
