I am researching this question for a possible paper. Given the exploitation of user identities for risk management and market tracking, how easy is it to alter a browser enough to throw off fingerprinting techniques?
My current sources are the EFF Panopticlick project- https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/primer-information-theory-and-privacy and Peter Eckersly's follow-up presentation at Def Con 18- http://privacy-pc.com/articles/how-safe-is-your-browser-peter-ackersley-on-personally-identifiable-information-basics.html
