  This works. (Don't forget to disable Flash.) Canvas and Character Sizes are still making me fairly unique... Any ideas there?

    Canvas is trickier! There's some add-ons out there that disable it in various ways so they're your best bet I'd say (assuming canvas not working gives away less information than it does normally, it's hard to tell). For character sizes I'm not sure if there's many useful defences against it, I would have thought it'll depend on a number of things, the Tor Browser might defend against it well, you'd have to give it a look.

      Yeah, I can't find much that gave any meaningful protection. I tried various Firefox and Chrome extensions, tried Tor... The problem is that at a certain point with security, everything just stops working. Wasn't able to get any sort of meaningful protection that still let me do much of anything... including run the Browserprint tool.

        Sounds like the same problem I've run into in my college project :). It's really tricky to get the balance right with privacy/usability, unless the browsers put more work in to it one of the only good options is to either constantly switch browsers or use different browsers for different types of browsing.
