Check if you can be tracked

Some of these methods are simply nefarious. Using cache and cookies to track users is a hack that subverts an useful implementation. I no longer use these features because "good" companies are using it to hack my browser and track me.

Here is a new idea: Do you want to track me? ASK ME! Give me a unique hash or something that I can delete anytime I want without losing functionalities on the rest of the web. These companies claim they provide a better user experience by using tracking information. I call their BS; if users wanted to be tracked there would be no need for such techniques to be developed.

A nice project for the developer to work on, but this is a pretty small subset of what the EFF's Panopticlick tool does. In fact, TCP timestamps/clock skew is the only technique I see that is "new". And the interface is not as nice.

- New in the sense that its implemented in an easy, online tools that tests how distinct your browser environment is.
