   Websites can't [directly] tell which add-ons you have installed.   
      
   IME it's almost impossible to not show a unique fingerprint ID.   
      
   I've tried making changes, such as finding the "most unique" identifiers   
   and getting my FF to use "less unique" alternatives, such as a popular   
   Chrome version user-agent, making my language preference and location   
   USA rather than UK
