Plugins and extensions are different things.
The `navigator.plugins` used for fingerprinting is just for NPAPI/PPAPI stuff like Flash, Java, Silverlight. Just about all browsers are also in the process of deprecating support for them.
(it can also be possible to fingerprint browser extensions, but that is a bit trickier as it's not served up directly by the browser as a handy array)
- modzu 8y agooh yes my bad, thanks. i was thinking extensions (maybe thanks to all the ff news!). wrt fingerpritning plugins, it seems to be the least of the issues and hopefully not an issue for long :)
