Safari 17 introduces anti-fingerprinting measures in private mode. They affect the following entropy sources:

  • screenResolution
  • screenFrame
  • audio
  • canvas

The fingerprint components are modified in private mode, which makes FingerprintJS produce different fingerprints.

Unfortunately, I have to disable the entropy sources in Safari 17 now, because, there is no apparent way to restore the original components, and iOS 17 will be published on September 18th. It will make FingerprintJS produce the same fingerprint in regular and incognito modes of Safari 17. We keep looking for ways to get stable entropy from these sources.
