 We have issues with how EFF's Panopticlick is run. It has inherent bias
 against any change from established norms, even if that change is in the
 direction of uniformity amongst a population.

 See for example #4810.

 As an alternative, perhaps we should set up our own instance of
 Panopticlick to measure the variance *among* TBB users?

 We could then add our own fingerprinting tests to this site as we see fit.
