blocking javascript makes you stand out WAY more. that basically narrows down the pool of possible people from a million to 3.

using the eff site is not accurate because it just tests your browser against all the other people that opted in to be tested, and an abnormally high percentage of people who tested explicitly turn(ed) off javascript, which is not representative of the normal web browsing public.
