I used chrome on a virtual machine (with not too much ordinary stuff installed) to run the test and it said my result was unique among ~3 million. Then I switched to incognito and the results said that there was one other match, which I assume was the test I had run previously. Point being, there was very little difference, which surprised me. Normal chrome had 21 pieces of identifying info, while incognito had 20, so not too much different.
The NSA has some fancy patents that also use response time and probably tons of other data if they wanted to try to identify your computer, or just you. I'm sure mouse-clicks and other seemingly random habits could be used to ID an individual also.
Best would probably be a VPN combined with a virtual machine with a very clean version of chrome. Maybe with some privacy extensions installed, but be careful which ones you choose, not too many and don't choose ones that aren't used by a lot of people.
