Fingerprinting is the newest way of tracking you across websites.
It's being done right now by companies like Google.
Because unlike cookie based tracking you can't defeat it just by disabling cookies.
In the Panopticlick study 83.6% of fingerprints were unique, even when JavaScript and/or Flash was disabled, and this is before canvas fingerprinting was invented.
There is currently NO FOOLPROOF DEFENCE against fingerprinting (except quitting the Internet).

ReCAPTCHA probably still contains fingerprinting code:

This means that the majority of 4chan users could be being fingerprinted, and Google might know about your shitposting habits even if cookies are disabled.

Google releases limited hangout of how much they know about you:

Daily reminder to do all your Amazon / eBay / LinkedIn / botnet shit in a completely separate browser to your Googling or buying shit.
It's currently the ONLY way to truly defend against fingerprint tracking.
Double points if you have each browser running in a different VM with a different OS.
Triple if you have each browser's VM configured with a different VPN connection.

Could the FP-Block browser extension be what we're looking for?

Adds randomness to canvases, generates random HTTP headers, randomises timezone, etc.
Bggy, and it doesn't seem to play well with other extensions, but very promising.
If only it was under active development.
