There is also a talk at DEFCON 17 from Gregory Fleischer (that we track on
ticket #6120) that contains interesting tricks to get informations on
TBB's users, even if most of them are not related to Tails (running on
windows,..).

I remember Mike talked about fingerprinting through font sets, which might
be workarounded by shipping fonts in the TBB package.
