Browserprint: are you uniquely identifiable?
Why do the browsers let the website know which plugins I have?<p>There are some things like Flash that should identify themselves, but those are few and far between, and the check should be feature specific and handled by the plugin.<p>Allowing every site to build a profile based on plugins [that is: a) fingerprint, and b) profile based on the plugins I use] is just an egregious violation of privacy.<p>At the very least, if there is some reason to expose browsers, let it be configurable.<p>Also, font testing should be made expensive [eg, one check per second]. Check if we have font &quot;scrabble&quot;, OK, but not get list of all fonts.
