Having a non-unique user agent probably doesn't make you not unique.

Oh gee, I wasn't aware there was more to it than the UA. Thanks for opening my eyes.

Edit: I checked your link, most of the parameters on the test require client side execution. That (client side tracking) is absolutely unrelated to what (server side tracking) I was talking about, and is something you can control (by not allowing JavaScript, for example). Please do not confuse the two. There is literally nothing you can do against server side tracking.
