enumerate_devices keep changing #375

Interesting. Do you get different fingerprints when you refresh again, i.e. more than 2 different fingerprints total? If so please post the |
|
Also, can you try to reproduce this on some other OS, i.e. Linux or Mac? Can you reproduce this on some other browser on your Windows machine? |
|
If I refresh in the same browser window it remains the same, but if I open a new tab\window they all change. It's generating a new print for every new instance, so it's not just 2 things flipping back and forth. |
|
Can also confirm it was happening across browsers (at least for chrome and edge) on the device I tested. With enumerated devices disabled it's working flawlessly though hehe |
|
Hi ! Can confirm this issue. The result is inconsistent fp. Are there any workarounds I can apply until the issue is solved ? |
|
@UlanDossym what OSes and browsers did you try? You can disable the enumerateDevices component (see list of components) |
|
@jonashaag Just FYI the enumerateDevices isn't in your component list (I only found it w\ an educated guess) |
|
Thanks, added to the list. (You could've done the same, it's a wiki!) |
|
I don't normally mess with other dev's stuff in that dept ;) dunno if you're trying to keep a feature private or some such. |
|
@jonashaag I am using Chrome and Edge. As for OS, I am on Win 10. |
|
@mtstedman excuse accepted! :-D So this looks like a Windows thing. Unfortunately I don't have a Windows machine so can't debug it. |
|
In "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/68.0.3440.106 Safari/537.36" It seems that in fact in each new tab some data in enumerateDevices changes, but some remain. |
|
Could always set it to only show the ones that don't change on windows systems when you detect a windows OS (I've already set it up to only disable them on windows now that I know that's the issue) |
|
Yeah but we're not really sure it's a windows problem to begin with |
|
Just confirmed this is also an issue on android (tested on multiple browsers) so not specific to windows. Same thing, new tab = new devices. |
|
Great insight, thanks! We need someone to test this on Linux. |
|
I can spin up a Linux box when I get home from work and test it. |
|
Has anyone had the chance to test this on Linux so far? |
|
The same is true on Mac 10.13.6 in Chrome 70.0.3538.45. |
|
Can confirm on Debian stretch Firefox 60.2.2esr and Chromium Version 69.0.3497.92 In firefox i get completely different values each browser start. AFAIR i did read somewhere that chrome uses another seed at each startup for the GIDs but i couldn't find a source for that |
|
Interesting. So not are very good fingerprinting source. Good thing it’s disabled by default now. Closing this issue, feel free to continue discussion here. |
|
I can confirm this on Linux (Pop!_OS) with fingerprintjs2 v2.0.6. It's also true for webgl and deviceMemory. Excluding those 3 give me a consistent fingerprint across tabs in the same browser. |

Every time I open a new browser session the enumerate_devices completely change.
