I’m currently not planning on being in Montreal, so sadly I won’t be able to join you. But there is a sig amount of research work in this area (identifying / fingerprinting users based on their use of privacy tools, and the privacy properties of private browsing modes).
I know some of those papers have been shared on this mailing list already, but I’d be happy to gather and (re)share some if it’d be helpful.

>> A couple of IETFs ago at the f2f PING meeting, folks discussed building a "Panopticlick <https://panopticlick.eff.org/> for Private Browsing Mode" i.e. a web page that a user can navigate to while in private-browsing mode and check if 1) they are detectable, 2) what guarantees their browser provides them while in private-browsing (doesn't retain cookies, etc). It would also be somewhat similar to the WebRTC Local IP Address leak page we worked on last year (though I hope with prettier UI/marketing): https://ntblk.github.io/webrtc-privacy/
