            Bug ID: 149014
           Summary: Hide all plugin names except Flash, Java, and
                    QuickTime
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: bfulgham at webkit.org

Browser plugin details accounts for around 18-20 bits of identifying fingerprint information. We should take a page from Mozilla and hide all plugins that are not Shockwave (Flash), QuickTime, or Java.

This one change drops the plugin-based fingerprint bits on my test system from 19.89 bits (only 1 in 970,980 machines match) to 3.31 bits (1 in 10 machines match).
