Panopticlick says I have "strong protection against Web tracking" but amiunique.org says I'm unique. Though amiunique also claims my TOR is fingerprint is one of six.

I get very different results from each. Some don't quite make sense to me. For example, amiunique says Timezone 3.37%. Panopticlick says 1 in 16, so half as bad. But how the hell is that timezone so identifying? I live on the west coast, how is that timezone so identifying?
