@humbucker what do you think of instead of splitting up "device" and "browser" having a getFingerprintBy("screenprint", "availableresolution", "colordepth")
method that took many strings representing data collection points? That would solve the problem of some people not wanting to use certain data points. Then you could also use getFingerprintBy()
to product a getDeviceFingerprint
function.
The only issue I have seen with a potential getDeviceFingerprint
method, is that you need to ensure your users have a browser that will get all the "device" data collection points. It can be limiting and therefore hurt your fingerprint id uniqueness.
Does that sound along the lines of what you were thinking?

@humbucker does the above sound reasonable to you or do you have different thoughts around "device" vs "browser" ?
from clientjs.
I was thinking pretty much the same thing as @humbucker. There would probably need to be a fair amount of testing involved to find the subset of methods that return the same values when run on one machine irrespective of browser. For example, the getFonts() method seems like it should return the same values regardless of browser as it's my understanding fonts are installed at the machine level. That being said, I received much different results for recent versions of both Chrome and Firefox on my laptop.
Firefox shows 42 fonts installed, and Chrome shows 21.
All that being said, it's my view the enhancement proposed by @humbucker is a worthy addition to the library.

Wouldn't the canvas fingerprint be enough for this?
from clientjs.
Oh sorry, it's cross-device identification, maybe join the relative data with IP on the backend?
from clientjs.
Take a look at the new getCustomFingerprint
method. It takes any number of data points you could pass to it as strings. It will even take data points outside of what ClientJS
makes available.
You can find it here: http://clientjs.jacks.io/#Fingerprint-getCustomFingerprint
from clientjs.
Gonna close this issue out. Let me know if anyone has anymore feedback for the getCustomFingerprint
method.
