   You have two great ideas there, where one is another anti-fingerprinting   
   extension while the other is how to test if fingerprints are unique.   
      
   Like you, the  comes up for me with an error.   
   The  site says the following:   
        Protecting you from fingerprinting?   
        your browser has a randomized fingerprint   
        Your browser fingerprint has been randomized   
        among the 323,619 tested in the past 45 days.   
        Although sophisticated adversaries may still   
        be able to track you to some extent, randomization   
        provides a very strong protection against tracking   
        companies trying to fingerprint your browser.   
      
        Currently, we estimate that your browser has a   
        fingerprint that conveys at least 17.33 bits of   
        identifying information.   
      
   It would be nice to compile all the test sites together so others   
   can benefit when they want to test their browsers for privacy holes.
