Evidently, out of the 1.2million or so visitors so far; I'm unique (no
real surprise, tiny sample base)20.22 bits of information.... I took a
look at the results, so I guess i'm the only one who hasn't skinned
firefox or has only the essential plugins. <G>

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10)
Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Browser Characteristic bits of identifying information one in x
browsers have this value value
User Agent
11.42

2732.38

And most of my score is made from that bit of information alone. I
guess nobody uses windows xp with firefox? If you believe that, I have
a huge ass water tressel in storage on a lake in arizona going cheap.

Oh, my browser plugin details finished me off. Folks, I've got
noscript, java, and the necessary BS to view multimedia sites. And
adobe's nonsense, thats it; nothing fancy. Plain jane essentially here.
Unique my arse.
