“FPDetective: Dusting the web for fingerprinters”

I haven’t seen this paper mentioned here; since it’s highly relevant to
the discussions around fingerprinting, I thought I would reference it:
        “In this paper, we report on the design, implementation
        and deployment of FPDetective, a framework for the de-
        tection and analysis of web-based fingerprinters. […] 
        we were able to conduct a large scale analysis of the million
        most popular websites of the Internet, and discovered that the
        adoption
        of fingerprinting is much higher than previous studies had
        estimated.”
