I know that, but the UA does provide the highest number of bits of identifying information.



is that still true since operating systems and browsers automatically update themselves now?


Fair point, that probably lowers the odds of recognition a bit, but the UA stands out because of the multiple variables that it reports in one header. At least when I ran Panopticlick a few times with various configurations, that was always the factor which gave up the most bits of identifying info.
