 Replying to [ticket:32861 printerman22]:
 > A potential solution is taking some features from the "Trace" Firefox
 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)
