Hello, I have been looking at your git repository with selenium tests: https://github.com/gunesacar/tbb-fp-tests And this looks like a very good start! If you think that's ready, I can merge your patch (fp_tests.patch) so we start running those tests on the next releases / nightly builds. After reading your proposal about this new Panopticlick project, something I'm wondering is if it would be possible to split this tool in two differents parts: - the part that generate a profile of the browser visiting the page(s) using all known fingerprinting techniques, and save this profile in a file (in json, yaml or any other format that is easy to read from an other program) - the part that takes this profile and adds it to a central database, and compute a uniqueness score to display it to the user The reason I'm thinking about this is that it could allow us to share the first part between the panopticlick website and the test suite. I've been thinking about making the test suite start a local web server that would be used to host some pages to be used by tests, and this fingerprinting website could be one of thoses. Does it sounds like something possible ? Nicolas
