I wrote this in response to all the silver bullets being offered as a solution to fingerprinting. It turns out, it's a hard problem and not a quick fix. A small excerpt: "The EFF have released a tool called Panopticlick that creates a lossy hash of your browser. The idea behind the tool is to issue each user with a very unique browser footprint that is used to definitely verify you are the person visiting a page. I stress the importance of definitely because the tool can zoom right in to an individual at the personal level, or a small sample size of users. (More on sample sizes later). Especially concerning about fingerprinting is how accurate it can be. If a useragent is changed, something else will give an identity away like the fonts installed on a machine, the pixel depth of a screen, or the time you visit a page. Flash and JavaScript are typically disabled by users now because they can prove too invasive"
