I have switched to explicit cookie whitelisting, and a browser cache that automatically wipes at application quit. I'm sure I can probably still be fingerprinted somehow, but I hope I have reduced the low-hanging fruit.

Well I have switched to offline Stackoverflow, Wikipedia and Khan academy, all my media from no js torrent site and all news sites blocked with stay focused. Lets see you beat that :p

  I never heard of a Stackoverflow offering a full download. Is this the link you used? https://archive.org/details/stackexchange https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

    How is one supposed to browse these files once un-zipped? I will be honest and admit I am ignorant to XML and had trouble finding a solution after some quick googling. Any help would be appreciated.

      Not exactly sure. That is why I asked if @hu87 downloaded from a different / better formatted source.

        Cool thanks for the reply. If you find something better and get a chance, let me know, I'd be very appreciative. I'll take a look this evening and let you know if I find anything.

  Where do people obtain offline copies of stackoverflow ?

    Check out kiwix.org they have all the dumps and readers. Even full text search works for many archives

Fonts strike me as particular low-hanging fruit, especially when targeting developers (who often like to customize everything - and fonts high on the list). In the context of a browser, how much does anything else matter if you have installed some particular programming font?

  There should be a browser that explicitly attempts to present the blandest, most common profile to websites to foil tracking.

    Firefox in the Tor Browser Bundle does some of this

  Pretty interesting how many bits of identifying information are available based on system fonts. if you've never seen EFF's Panopticlick check out https://panopticlick.eff.org https://panopticlick.eff.org
