[QUOTE="Jan Willy, post: 974521, member: 80838"] The discussion in this thread shows that there is no agreement about the best way of spoofing fingerprint elements (and perhaps there isn't such way at all). Apart from this, I don't like spoofing because ordinary tracker blockers do a better job. Nevertheless, JavaScript Restrictor has an interesting new mechanism: FingerPrint Detector (FPD).
