I've been thinking vaguely about a FF plugin that lies about your
browser to websites, especially technically irrelevant stuff like
plugins and fonts, that provide a high level of identification. What
would be cool would be a set of standard signatures in a data file that
would be swapped at random but used by multiple computers.
I'm pretty confident that my browser signature is unique within in the
stellar parallax distances give my plugin set and unusual fonts (eg,
http://www.dafont.com/mad-science.font)
