Terrible browser security!

I use Mozilla and Zone Alarm. But I was not pleased by what I saw at
centralops "Browser Mirror".

It showed my IP address and server port 80. But it also showed I had
JavaScript available, what plugins I had installed, and the size of my
browser window.

I am no security expert by a long shot, and I realize it is a good thing it
did not show any other ports open, and only question marks about cookies,
but that seemed like a lot of info that is available out there, especially
my IP address.

What should I do to be more "invisible" or protected. How secure is this?

Thanks.

Not use the Internet.
Seriously.
What you had described is normally given out by browsers.
Your IP address is constantly available.. Even in this news posting.
If you want more "stealth" - you have to put forth a lot more effort than
changing browsers/operating systems. heh
