Bug: Same fingerprint to user that use iPhone about broprint.js HOT 11 CLOSED

Oh! I thought this was a really promising library.

from broprint.js.

I also see exactly the same fingerprint when using an iphone. Such a shame, I would have replaced fingerprintjs with this in a heartbeat otherwise.

from broprint.js.

I could to see that users who have iphone, always generate the same fingerprint

I tested in differente iphones and browsers (safari and chrome)

Step to reproduce

1. Go to the website https://broprintjs.netlify.app/ from a iphone (using chrome o safari)
2. Click on Generate FingerPrint Button

My iPhones received the exact same fingerprint as yours! Very interesting find!

At first, I didn't notice that my ID was the same as yours and I was thinking it's because of my iPhones going through the same network. Must be a bug then, I guess (or Safari has implemented new defense methods against fingerprinting with Canvas/Audio).

Chrome, Edge - same issue

Is this is a real issue, this point (this post) should be highlighted in the REAME instead of saying this library is only for educational purposes.

Even fingerprintjs pro have issues with Edge, you cant test it https://fingerprint.com/demo/

Yep, same here, at least for my iPhone. My girlfriends' iPhone gives a different one tho

Not sure what is the actual issue, but I was thinking of implementing a tracking option to track unique users by their IP address using ipify. But again It can have less accuracy if the user started using a VPN.

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please share.

So it isn't working... 😢
Such a shame - I wanted to use this library ! It looks perfect, and also easy to implement.
But requirement, obviously, is that each Visitor device gets a unique I

No fix available as of now, open to accept PR.

ok - hopefully the library can be improved at a later date. All respect to you ! 🙏🏻 I will keep a watch on this project, so much promise here, and is already so very close !

Like many, my needs are to (within statistical reasonableness) detect UNIQUE device/browser visitors. So at this time this library cannot be used for that. Thanks for replying 🙏🏻
