Interesting, but let me try an analogy using a house:
-covering your windows
-blacking out your house number
-removing your mailbox
-gated entrance
-surveillance cameras
-camo netting over house to hide from google earth(and maybe street) images

Now, no one knows who’s in there are what they are doing and can’t get in to find out. But you stick out like a “sore thumb” as they say in the article and everyone thinks you are doing something.... aka “you must have something to hide”.

Seems the way to go is to build a honeytrap version of NoScript, Ghostery, ABP etc. which makes servers think you are actually running the garbage they are serving out.

Or, thinking bigger, basically a behind the scenes “virtual browser” running in default/generic mode that talks to the website while you view selected parts in your visible browser.

A better analogy (in terms of fingerprinting) is that you live in a tract house that is absolutely identical to every other house on the street—with the same house number, paint, and style.
