What is browser fingerprinting? Your website is not available.

I think it might have something to do with this: https://panopticlick.eff.org/

As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason my browser should have to supply my font set. One of many reasons I try hard to browse with Javascript disabled.

There are many other pieces to this, but for one, I want a packaged ability to turn this off and/or to supply a canned list of fonts (that presumably matches the list provided by many other users/computers using the same functionality and list).
