How make fingerprint same in different browser? #10
Comments
I can answer that for you: no. The only information that the plugin draws from is browser-specific. |
Also anonymous Chrome window (41.0.2272.89) creates a new fingerprint hash. |
I got the followup, yes it does and would b/c it is only capturing incognito plugins and not all plugins. Fingerprint works similarly to cookies without requiring a cookie. While this is an oversimplification, lets run with it. Tracking cookies are different based on browser, machine, and privacy mode, so it is a reasonable expectation that fingerprints would be as well. If you need cross-browser and cross privacy tracking of people ask them to sign in or download your plugin (which I bet they won't b/c you are doing something shady). |
Yes, this library is called 'browser fingerprint', not identity fingerprint or person fingerprint, so it's not possible. You can try making the sign-up/sign-in process as easy as possible to have most of your users authenticated, but besides that, I don't think much is possible. |
Then how this website done it? |
@maman8 I tried your link in Chrome and Safari, and got different fingerprints. However, I did get the same fingerprint in Chrome regular, incognito, and canary windows. I am guessing that they use your IP address - that is why it sometimes works across browsers. |
Hello.
Is it possible to do something that the fingerprint was the same in different browsers?
Because these settings do not help:
var fp = new Fingerprint2({excludeUserAgent: true});
