Those fingerprints are mostly based on information that your browser gives out voluntarily for no good reason (the server doesn't need to know your fonts, screen resolution, plugins or user-agent).
Thus an easy workaround would be to use a plugin that randomizes all this, which turns your one unique identity into many unique identities.
- ytinas 17y agouser-agent is most definitely needed. My server gives different content depending on which kind of client accesses the page and I certainly don't want to do that in javascript.

- ytinas 17y agoAccept headers are going to tell me what CSS bugs are present?
- moe 17y agoThat's what conditionals inside the CSS are for. Browser sniffing simply doesn't work and only brings you pain. Enough so that jquery abandoned the practice a year ago; http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.3 http://docs.jquery.com/Release:jQuery_1.3
