Wiki pages not accessible

[Mozila4060]

Hi,

We are looking to optimize configuration & settings to get the most stable fingerprint possible.
On some pages, I saw references to the Wiki pages with the relevant information. But pages are not accessible.
For instance:

Note 2: Browser independent components Some components change when you switch to a different browser on the same device. See: https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs/wiki/Browser-independent-components

Note 3: Unstable options Some options change every time you refresh the page. See: https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs/wiki/Stable-components

Did Wiki move? Can somebody help me locate those pages?

Hi! The wiki you are talking about is the wiki for version 2 of the library. It has been moved to https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs/tree/v2/wiki. The current library version is 3, and the wiki doesn't work for the current library version.

We'll review your stability question later.

Thank you.

Hi @Mozila4060 , thank you for your question, and welcome to the FingerprintJS community! As @Finesse has already mentioned, the current version of FingerprintJS is v3. From your referring to wiki v2, I assume you are using FPJS v2 - am I right? Please note, the currently supported version is v3, nevertheless, we can rarely fix serious bugs in v2.

I've tried some of the mentioned components and options, and I can confirm, the current state (for v3) is not in sync with the mentioned wiki. We can consider creating new documentation content for the v3 about stability - is it important for you? Would you find it valuable?

Needless to say, with OSS FingerprintJS, you have to make some compromises probably and choose between stability and sensitivity - this depends on your use case. Please take a look at our docs in the Extending components section. I believe this might help you with adjusting/customizing behavior for your specific scenario. Moreover, you can find additional info about screen frame and canvas stability.

I'd like to ask for providing more pieces of information about the specific components/options.

• What browser-independent components do change when you switch to a different browser on the same device?
• What specific options do change every time you refresh the page?

These information will help us to set proper expectations and help people with similar questions and issues.
Thank you!

@makma Thank you for the detailed message.
We are using the v3. I referred to the V2 pages as this the only pages I found that are dealing with stability and best practices.
If you would have the same for v3 it would be great!

Thanks for the links. We will examine them.

Hello @Mozila4060! I've just filed the issue for collecting info about stable and independent components. Feel free to add any related info and your observations about stability. Once we have enough data we will distill it and create documentation pages.

Hi @makma, Thank you for the update. Our engineers and analysts are analyzing code and collected data, we will share the insights.
