there are several test sites for fingerprinting like panopticlick or
evercookies but all of them are only scraching the surface. the torbrowser
team is probably the circle of people who knows the most about
fingerprinting in the world.
a site that allows to test all of the fingerprintability in one place
could raise the public interest in the torproject including those who use
adblock and a vpn and think theyre hidden then.
it would also be very useful for future development:
-compare torbrowser to other anonymizing browsers and private browsing
modes of mainstream browsers
-find fingerprints that could be reintroduced with new versions of firefox
-find fingerprintability that only occurs in unexpected situations like
unusual combinations of hardware os and software
-evaluate the risk of fingerprints that are not fixed yet
