Another way to defeat the fingerprint for FF users is to uninstall the regular version of the browser from the hard drive, and install the portable version on a couple of different folders (or on flash drives). Each instance of FF can have mostly different plugins, so each gives off a different profile signature. If the plugins per each portable installation are deleted or changed up as well, along with clearing the flash cookies, it may totally defeat any tracking of the PC via fingerprint profile.

No way to read it via a browser unless they use some evil code in their Chrome. I wouldn't recommend using Chrome when you seek privacy from Google.
.Another thing is that you can change a mac address of your network card (via bios).

mac id spoofing yes it is possible but hard work better not to use chrome as we all know google is the number one data miner .

Google may collect browser and OS info but I doubt they use it for correlation.
Flash cookies is the main one. Just visit this link to get access to your flash cookie bucket and delete the contents. I bookmark it so all I do is type "adobe" in my url bar and it appears:

They can get your MAC id:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" / >
<title>Getting MAC Address From Javascript(IE Only) </title> <script language="javascript"> function showMacAddress(){ var obj = new ActiveXObject ("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator"); var s = obj.ConnectServer("."); var properties = s.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration"); var e = new Enumerator (properties); var output; output='<table border="0" cellPadding="5px" cellSpacing="1px" bgColor="#CCCCCC">'; output=output + '<tr bgColor="#EAEAEA"><td>Caption</ td><td>MACAddress</td></tr>'; while(!e.atEnd()) { e.moveNext(); var p = e.item (); if(!p) continue; output=output + '<tr bgColor="#FFFFFF">'; output=output + '<td>' + p.Caption; + '</td>'; output=output + '<td>' + p.MACAddress + '</td>'; output=output + '</tr>'; } output=output + '</table>'; document.getElementById("box").innerHTML=output; }
</script> </head>
<body> <input type="button" value="Show MAC Address" onclick="showMacAddress()" /> <div id="box"> </div> </body>
</html>

I've read that you need to change your screen resolution in addition to the OS and browser.
