[tor-dev] Browser extension identification/fingerprinting mitigation?

Hi all,

I'm looking at possibly replacing the images used by Cupcake with inline SVG XML, to reduce the possibility of fingerprinting/identifying Cupcake users who use Chrome [1]. One of the more talked-about methods of identifying a user's browser extensions is to look for images used by the extension (in Chrome at least), so this seems to make some amount of sense. [2]

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
