[tor-dev] Browser extension identification/fingerprinting mitigation?

[Griffin Boyce]

Hi all,

  I'm looking at possibly replacing the images used by Cupcake with
inline SVG XML, to reduce the possibility of fingerprinting/identifying
Cupcake users who use Chrome [1].  One of the more talked-about methods
of identifying a user's browser extensions is to look for images used by
the extension (in Chrome at least), so this seems to make some amount of
sense. [2]

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
