You sure about that? I already do click-to-play for plugins in Chrome, and it doesn't seem to help much. According to Panopticlick, there are 19.75 bits of data in my Browser Plugin Details, and for the "value" it describes all the plugins

Why do you think it can only be a good thing for everyone involved? Do Microsoft's relationships always turn out great for both parties?
