Hello. There is no dobt that browsers are fingerprintable. In my study
(ticket #13400 ,article http://geektimes.ru/post/244484/comments/ in
Russian, wait for english version a little) I and other commenters have
fingerprinted differrent browsers on differrent systems (including tbb on
win8, winxp, some linux distro, Tails and Whonix) with differrent fonts
and the fingerprints were differrent on differrent systems.
I think that we need a standard of browser behaviour which must
* define a set of locally or remotely fingerprintable features (including
values returned by differrent APIs, values can be measured (for example
performance), behavoural patterns such as set of headers, etc...));
* define their values for any anonymized browser which comply with
standard.
Also we need a standard on user fingerprinting mitigation to make it not
to conflict browser fingerprinting prevention.
