aware of panopticlick. if you have a file in profile directory, add this to it. if not, create file and paste this in it. //set user agent to blank user_pref("general.useragent.override", " "); what makes you get a unique rating is that you report no agent. only info any site will know about you is your ip address. if you want to hide that, use a proxy server.
