I am thinking of writing a browser plugin, but I don’t know any C. Can I write browser plugins using Java or Python?
I thought ... All of these sites store cookies in my browser to identify me. If I wrote a plugin that would provide the browser GUID in the http headers, the web servers could identify the browser.
I think this would eliminate the need for 99% of all cookies, pretending to be momentarily that all users and servers are using it.
