The privacy tools built into all current browsers can clear all but one of evercookie's storage methods. Specifically, cookies, cache, history & HTML5 storage should all be included in your browser's "clear private data" feature. Flash cookies are a bit more of a problem: they're in a plugin, so the browser doesn't know about them. A tool like CCleaner would work, or you could clear them manually with Adobe's Flash control panel: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplay...

That breaks some things.
i.e. the escapist thinks you're a scraping bot and bans you from viewing their videos for a week.
