 Replying to [comment:22 elypter]:

 > i think it should not only be directed towards tor users. it should have
 2 modes. one compares the browsers with all other browsers like
 panopticlick and the other compares it to how torbrowser should look like
 with normal settings.

 Can you elaborate on what you mean by "compares it to how torbrowser
 should look like with normal settings"?

 > data storage should be optional and the user should be given the option
 to make a bookmark for his fingerprint for later comparison

 You mean like a web browser bookmark?

 I like this idea, but in order to make it possible fingerprints would have
 to be publicly accessible; I don't think this is a good thing to do by
 default so perhaps there should be a checkbox before submitting your
 fingerprint that says "Make my fingerprint public and allow it to be
 bookmarked".

 > and the option to download the report as textfile.

 Did you have a particular format in mind?

 Do you think a plain text format like the following be fine, or do you
 think going with something fancier like XML or JSON would be better?
