Yeah, I kinda wish the site generated a hash or something because I've got an extension that fakes the canvas results, but the site says those identifiers are unique for me... But are they the same unique (which indicates the extension isn't doing anything) or different each time (which might even make the others less useful if it aggregates everything?

I did notice earlier today that the YouTube recommendations were all actually related to the video I was currently watching instead of it trying to get me to go down a rabbit hole I've already been down even logged out, like it does on my desktop where I haven't installed that extension.
