When I visit
http://panopticlick.eff.org/ at Electronic Frontiers Foundation, if I am using FF, which was my main browser for several years, the accumulated Browser Plugins list all by itself uniquely identifies me as 1 in nearly 3 million. If I use a new browser which hasn't surfed the web from my machine and has a limited set of plugins, then it's the Installed Fonts List that is most revealing.
It would be great if Avast, when asked to do so, could insert itself between the plugins list and installed fonts list "request" and return something totally generic that would put the browser in "safety-in-numbers herd mode", so to speak, where it would be largely indistinguishable from thousands or tens of thousands of others just like it.
There's something called Proxomitron which I haven't tried yet (
http://www.proxomitron.info/ ) that appears to offer something along these lines, but my concern would be that it and Avast might step on each other's toes. Is it possible to find out if the two programs are compatible with each other from tech support before I attempt to install it?
