Yay, more browser fingerprinting data points!

Well, to be fair, as the spec notes, you can already fingerprint on speed by timing how long an AJAX call takes.

Also, "on a shit home DSL connection" doesn't really distinguish me from millions of other UK residents.

Yes it does, when used in combination with the other data points.

That said, I always get "unique" on those fingerprinting tests. You can't be "extra unique," so I guess I don't mind it.
