Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but how? I don't think
anyone's asking for the browser to send anything that can't be
detected client-side and sent to the server anyway.
The idea is to prevent pervasive user tracking via fingerprinting. It's
actually easy to prevent client-side detection of some of these things;
just turn off script execution for the relevant origins.
