Details do get difficult to master, as the solution set
gets more and more comprehensive, so it's undertandable
if you haven't been following the details closely.

The good news is that we've reduced the entropy for all 8 
fingerprinting items reported by panopticlick.eff.org 

1. User Agent
2. HTTP_ACCEPT Headers
3. Browser Plugin Details
4. Time Zone
5. Screen Size and Color Depth
6. System Fonts
7. Are Cookies Enabled?
8. Limited supercookie test

In addition, I'm now working on encrypting every web page with
(without resorting to VPN), even those that are unencrypted; but
that's a separate topic from fingerprinting.
