Jonas,

I realize you were responding to someone else, but just to explain
further,
all I'm "trying" to do is attack the biggest fingerprint problem first.

Thats a good idea ...

It's a normal way to approach such things since you never know which
fingerprinting technique sites will use.

... but when you do not know where that "biggest problem" resides that will
be a bit hard. :-)

If I knew that the UA string was the "most important",

For this you have my apologies. I'm so accustomed to having scripting
turned off, I often do not think about it until way to late (in a
non-scripting environment th UA is pretty-much the only thing giving your
secrets away - which you probably already know).

To that end, this thread is really here to only ask the one question
of whether anyone knows of an existing "font cleaner" which will
identify all the non-standard fonts on any WinXP computer, and
allow you to easily delete them.

If that really is what you want to do than you could do that manually. Just
go to the control panel, select fonts, and remove to your hearts desire.

But please do realize that by going that way you will ultimatily be left
with a machine which you can't do anything personalized with anymore, as you
need to keep it level with the rest of the mowing field. :-|

My suggestion would be to see if you can figure out which identifying
methods are the most used, and try to curtail them*. Presuming that JS
playes a big role in it, you could see if you could override certain
commands to only return some predetermined values, which you can probably do
with GreaseMonkey.

*just now the "privacy mode" of FF comes to mind.

Ofcourse, the first thing I would suggest is to see if you can simply refuse
requests from (most always third-party) websites who think they should be
fingerprinting in the first place. My plugin of choice for that is
RequestPolicy, but NoScript would most likely also work.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

the "most important", I'd attack it (but it's so easy to spoof that I
wouldn't bother with asking since there are extensions and methods abound
to change the UA string).

The problem on the fonts is that I am just looking for a program to make
my
life easier. Sure, I can manually do anything but then I have to learn
more
about fonts than I need to 'if' ... if a program already exists.

It's like building my own "ccleaner" or "irfanview" or "vlc". Sure, I
probably can become an expert in each, but the hope is that someone else
already specialized in that.
