EFF's Panopticlick 2.0 Launches with Tracker Protection Tests

I browse with cookies disabled by default, and when I ran the browser test it said this:

Are Cookies Enabled? No

one in x browsers have this value 3.94

...so according to the EFF's data, almost 1 in 4 people also browse with cookies disabled? I thought I was in an extreme minority, and I know I come across a TON of sites that don't work without cookies or localStorage enabled (which is understandable for when you need to log in or if it's a more "app"-y thing, but for just reading content it's a ridiculous requirement).

It's presumably 1 in 4 people who have tried Panopticlick, which isn't a representative sample of general browsers (for example, a lot of people might try it with Tor Browser or with private browsing mode).
