Interesting... We all have similar but not identical uniqueness measures. How can that be? If they’ve tested 1.6M browsers and 100,000 of them share your fingerprint, would they tell you that you were unique among [the other] 1.5M? How exactly does that work? I’m not sure.

Looks like it comes from “Browser Plugin Details” which may include the order of when you added the plugins.

Is it possible that we have similar uniqueness due to being FReepers? We have many threads here on FR on net security, etc. Also, I think that many people, liberal and conservative alike, who are net savvy tend to pay attention big time to tracking, net dangers, etc. moreso than casual net surfers.
