Browsers leak a lot of information. Enough to track you.

https://panopticlick.com/

If you bore down through the test results, there is a link
for the fingerprint of your browser. For example (mine).

+ Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 178,517 tested in the past 45 days.
+ Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 17.45 bits of identifying information.
