Going to http://panopticlick.eff.org/ I can see that that Firefox and Chrome expose more about 'System Fonts' and 'Browser Plugin Details' than I prefer.

How can the permission of a web page to access these settings be disabled in Firefox and Chrome?

For System Fonts you have to disable Flash. Still looking for Plugins. – pkario Jun 5 '11 at 5:35

Javascript has ability to check what plugins are installed, this is generally used to give a "install missing plugin" message if needed. If you want, you could disable plugins in the settings, and disable Javascript using an addon like Javascript Blacklist for Chrome, or Quick Java statusbar for Firefox.
