Pointing them to EFF's Panopticlick is not a good idea, I think. The Panopticlick is heavily biased towards non-Tor Browser browsers which means that Tor Browser users are essentially always sticking out, no matter how uniform they are *among* Tor Browser users. We want a test that measures differences among Tor Browser users and could thus give a meaningful advice on "Is action X making me more fingerprintable with Tor Browser or not?". Alas, we are not there yet. FPCentral (https://fpcentral.tbb.torproject.org/) is a great step towards that goal but needs more love and someone who is actively driving this project. [snip] Georg
