I love panopticlick, but hate it as well. They just tell you ' yup, you're screwed' but they don't tell you how to avoid being so. I get that there are likely some legal reasons, but the tool almost does more harm than good in this way. I don't want to have a browser fingerprint, tell me how to not have one.

Although sophisticated adversaries may still able to track you to some extent, randomization provides a very strong protection against tracking companies trying to fingerprint your browser."
