Comment (by elypter):

 i think it should not only be directed towards tor users. it should have 2
 modes. one compares the browsers with all other browsers like panopticlick
 and the other compares it to how torbrowser should look like with normal
 settings.
 this could help not only users but also developers and researchers because
 it can be checked if addons or plugins change the fingerprint or if a new
 version of firefox reintroduces old fingerprints. and finerprints that
 only occur in unusual circumstances can also be detected with a large
 userbase.
 it can also be useful to compare torbrowser to other anonymizing browsers
 and private browsing modes of mainstream browsers.

 data storage should be optional and the user should be given the option to
 make a bookmark for his fingerprint for later comparison and the option to
 download the report as textfile.
