add-on
OOoh... almost forgot... **please don't use non-TB provided extensions**:
they will increase your entropy and they are not vetted by the TB team (I
know for a fact that double trace has a number of flaws: no, I won't
elaborate)
This works because it is trivial to alter the id hash, and the extension
is **randomizing** some results: cogito ergo sum: different hash. TB could
also easily do this by simply randomizing something, like canvas: but this
is not TB's design/spec (although personally, I think some areas could do
with it when implemented)
