    I can’t think of a use-case where a third-party website would ever need to see what ports I have open on my machine.

      Exactly. Same with what extensions I have installed and most other information listed in the fingerprinting section of Panopticlick.

      It’s for browser/device fingerprinting and basically nothing else.
