User A is also "unique", indeed... until more people start doing the same. Then they can no longer be told apart.

We should agree on common set of absolutely minimal necessary data (User agent, supported fonts, screen resolution and DPI if Javascript can probe those, etc) and then ALL run with the same, except on the very few sites one truly needs and which don't work with this bare minimum for some (hopefully valid!) technical reason.

We could actually package all of this into an addon or a simple recipe of settings. I'm not knowledgeable enough to pull such an effort with absolute certainty that nothing gets forgotten, but if someone does, I'd suggest "V for Vendetta" as a name, as it reminds me of the 5th of November scene.
