What really surprised me is that running it in incognito mode (in Chrome) made absolutely no difference to my results.

I know that incognito mode is geared towards not leaving a trace on the user's computer rather than being anonymous to the server, but I guess I assumed that with the plugins disabled they wouldn't be visible to the server.

As long as your browser leaks the list of available plugins and fonts, you're not incognito.

An alternative I'd like to see is a standard somewhat fixed small set of plugins and fonts.
