Comment (by toruser314159):

 Hi,
 I've just stumbled upon this issue while trying out EFF's Panopticlick.
 I'm a bit lost amid all the comments, patches, kludges and different OSs.
 Anyway, I'm somewhat concerned by the following data:
 Screen Size and Color Depth     1615x902x24
 "Within our dataset of several million visitors, only one in 2,236,864
 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours."
 To me this seems to be a highly serious anonymisation failure.

 I'm using Torbrowser 3.6.4 on Ubuntu 14.04.
