it is marginal for the project goal. indeed is not marginal for the user.
also if I don't know if these connection contain browser unique identifier
(beside the stuff sent in an HTTP request)

One of the side goal of the project, is show that current business model of
the online media -beside few notable exception- is basically damaging for
the citizen privacy.

so I agree that browsers with these defaults, are sending a lots of stuff.
but this is out of scope for our analysis.
If we've to address all the stuff sent automatically, I'll cover for first
the browser, and for second the antivirus server location :) they collect
URLs and filename executed to sent them across the world without asymmetric
crypto...
