I have scripts disabled SO IT DIDNT PULL UP ANYTHING

It tries to scare you by saying "You are quite visable with scripts disabled" WHICH IS BS!!!!!!!

If you have scripts DISABLED you successfully block almost all spam ads,tracking stuff,etc..... HAVING SCRIPTS DISABLED IS MUCH BETTER THAN ALLOWING THEM!!!!

EDIT:

I enabled scripts and went to the page.... STILL NOTHING WAS PULLED UP

FF told me the site wanted to use a plugin 'that can only run in 32 bit mode' when I went to that page and asked if I wanted to re-start the browser. I declined.

Nevertheless, it managed to pull up a lot more information about my rig than I thought it would .... I didn't know it was possible for it to establish a list of my system fonts for example. Anyone know how it does that?

All it tell you is basically what your user-agent reports and what plugins are running on your browser. Sites like that have been round for years and have been posted here before.

They should change the domain name to www.onlyfortheparanoid.com

None of that is really personally identifiable, the IP address would be but other than site no site can tell who you are based on the information the browser spits out.

I think its interesting it doesnt pull up ANYTHING on my end even when i enable scripts! (Not that im complaining,i reckon its better if it finds nothing)
