 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
