Either I've got a good sneaky browser or the >website is a scam. I'm betting on the second. Firefox: Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 5,443,287 tested so far. Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 22.38 bits of identifying information.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 22.38 bits of identifying information. ---- - lots and lots of info, with numerous differences between the two browsers. -- _____________________________________________________ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key dannyb@panix.com [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]
