   There is nothing wrong with approaching the problem browser by browser by   
   browser by browser by browser, but the maintenance of that is an issue.   
      
   Better to approach the problem outside the browser itself, such that it   
   works with all browsers and the maintenance, once running, should be none.   
      
   As for being unique, I think you misunderstood so allow me to explain that   
   it's the sum total of your "entropy" which makes you unique.   
      
   However, the browser fonts are a major contributor to that entropy.   
      
   The proposed solution will work to lower that entropy, however you may   
   still have a unique set of characteristics - but - an important variant to   
   be aware of is that you will be unique each time (which makes it harder for   
   them to correlate that it's you).   
      
   If you need me to explain that point further, just ask as it's not   
   understood byo 99 out of 100 people what I just said so it's OK if you wish   
   me to clarify.
