Demo: https://pjanczyk.github.io/simple-fingerprint/
npm install simple-fingerprint
yarn add simple-fingerprint
Compute a stable browser fingerprint:
import { computeFingerprint } from "simple-fingerprint";
let fingerprint = await computeFingerprint();
computeFingerprint()
returns an SHA1 hash of a fingerprint, e.g., "2fd4e1c67a2d28fced849ee1bb76e7391b93eb12"
.
Compute components of a fingerprint:
import { computeFingerprintComponents } from "simple-fingerprint";
let components = await computeFingerprintComponents();
computeFingerprintComponents()
returns an object with the following properties:
{
devicePixelRatio: number | null
userAgent: string | null
platform: string | null
plugins: string | null
headers: string | null
dateFormat: string | null
fonts: string | null
batteryCharging: boolean | null
batteryLevel: number | null
canvas2dRender: string | null
webglRenderer: string | null
webglRender: string | null
