Kill Nosey Javascripts (improved)
Hello I hope this might be useful to someone:

I use the following site to see what sort of information my browser is leaking:

http://www.maxa-tools.com/cookie-privacy.php

I use Comodo Dragon on Windows 8, and I was spilling User Agent, OS, and all of the plugins my browser is using.

So I adopted the user agent string filter from the original Proxomitron filter set, so now I am reporting (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8). But I was still leaking screen resolution and plugin info.

Then I copied and pasted in the original "Kill Nosey Javascripts" filter to the Web page filters section. That got rid of the plugin information being leaked, but was still revealing screen resolution.

Now I'll preface by saying I don't know a damned thing about writing Proxo filters, but I was able to glean from the web that "screenHeight" "screenWidth" are also used to determine screen resolution. I pasted those variables into the existing Kill Nosey filter, and it works! Now Maxa Tools only reports my fake OS, browser, and header. In addition, Maxa usually reports whether Javascript is enabled or disabled. With this filter, it can't even report whether JS is on or off!
