Woefully incomplete - you aren't even exploring navigator.plugins, installed fonts, DOM storage settings, etc. https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php?action=log&js=yes

It's this kind of negativity I wish I never read on Show HN threads. Woeful? Seriously? Deplorably bad or wretched[1]? It's an MVP of an interesting concept and this is how you respond?

That's an interesting Firefox logo you're displaying. Rather than featuring the generic "Planet Mozilla" globe, it appears to be using a map of Earth centered on Japan. The fox looks a bit sleeker as well. For comparison, here's the official Firefox branding page: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/brand/identity/

I never noticed that :) Here is the icon set (free for commercial use) - http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=iconset%3Abrowsers

Ah, I probably could have been more clear. I was expecting (hoping) for more information. It doesn't seem to have anything wrong, but it would be great if it was possible to get a more detailed version number, like 8.0.6001.18702.

A quick look at your User Agent string suggests there is no detailed version number made available by your browser in the first place.

I thought ck2 was joking because the one he linked includes everything and was designed to show just how information you leak; not to exist as a way to quickly get a users info.

Maybe not, though.
