You probably don't want to send blank information for everything, this could make you more easily traceable. Just like disabling cookies/javascript might actually decrease your anonymity.
If you use Firefox, you can install something like Blender (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/blender-1/ https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/blender-1/) which fakes your data to some common data (to make you "blend" in the crowd).
Now I digress, but I suggest disabling (or use click2play) plugins, as they leak a lot of informations about you.
For cookies (which are used a lot for tracking), you can install something like Self-Distructing Cookies (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/ https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/self-destructing...), which accept cookies (like most browsers do), but delete them when you close the tab.
Don't forget something like RefControl (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/refcontrol/)/ https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/refcontrol/)/ Smart Referer (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/smart-referer/ https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/smart-referer/), as the referer can be used to track you.
And the classic Disconnect.me (https://www.disconnect.me/ https://www.disconnect.me/) or AdBlock + EasyPrivacy (https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/ https://easylist.adblockplus.org/en/).
See, privacy/anonymity on the web requires a lot more than just disabling the useragent. There are several other ways to track you, and it might have some legit uses (for example, serve you the right software for your operative system, I don't think there's a javascript api to recognize your os). It might be a good start, but it wouldn't help a lot, and it would break a lot of legacy code.
