RE: Protecting identity - blocking System Fonts info
Interesting. Is it my Flash (v.10,1,82,76) or is it my security settings for the Flash are responsible for what I experience? As I mentioned above - I see prompt from the Flash to run only on IE7 (not on FF and Iron) and even then when I ask it to run - it simply disappears... I have pretty strict restrictions on what Flash can do on my computers.

Good find on "TextField.getFontList();" Flash method within encoded files! It's looks like it's hard to block it. I guess even providing a dummy with the same name in JS will not work...

BTW, I think the "panopticlick swf " is more targeted on tracking users then the BrowserSpy flash file. Why? It preserves the order of fonts, which bears an additional ID info... Wink
