I found an Internetpage where you can see how unique your "fingerprint" in the internet ist.
It reads many of your data like plugins on the browser, screensolution etc.
So would some sites do that they would perfectly easy be able to identify exactly your computer if your "fingerprint" is very unique...
Like mine:
"Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 1,061,981 tested so far."

so at all of you who think they are anonymous in the internet - don't think so guys. You can be identified, and reading informations like those tested there, is just one possibility to find out who someone is.

have fun
