Sample size seems to be a significant issue here. I'm one of two people on the site that had my user agent (1 in 638851), and while it's rare, sure, there are obviously a lot more than two people in the world running chromium x64 opensuse. Looking at the data it seems like most of the responses are bog standard for my particular software install, so it's basically saying I'm unique because: * user-agent * time zone * screen size Surely my TZ=EST and screen=1366x768x24 can't be too helpful in a large sample size. And once chromium updates yet again, I think I'll be lost to the EFF test. It'll still see me as unique, but I'll be a different "unique" than the last time. It does seem like browsers could easily cut back on user-agent details to the benefit of their customers privacy and security. Is it really necessary to tell every website I visit that I'm x64 instead of i386 just in case I'm not smart enough to know which download now button to click? It's probably most useful to malware domains for determining which version of the latest flash 0-day to push to me. And are we sure we need the exact build number of every browser? Most revisions of chrome aren't changing anything in the rendering behavior.
