Hi,
I found this article called "total recall on firefox": http://0x000000.com/index.php?i=520&bin=1000001000 it describes a method of calculating hashes for a surfer depending on which plugins he uses. While I think that this wouldn't allow to determine one person it could decrease the user-group in which you want to hide yourself.

What do you think about this?

greetings
