I thought the same thing, so I did a bit of digging.
Turns out they put a bunch of tracking cookies on your machine without asking you (it is mentioned in the about page though), which seem rather naughty for an organisation promoting online privacy.
When I removed all 4 of them, I get down to being "almost unique". I'm currently down to having the same fingerprint as 1 in 45132.3333333 browsers.
- aub3bhat 10y agoThis is confusing, my incorrect assumption was 1 out n browsers meant n = total numbers of browsers evaluated by panopticlick. Rather what they mean is 1 out of k, where k is determined by unique bits. There might be other factor such as entropy of each fingerprint.
