  • This table provides information on which identifiers remain consistent across profiles and device actions (like factory reset) and is very useful for trying to understand the mitigations needed to prevent device identification

  • fingerprintjs

    Browser fingerprinting library. Accuracy of this version is 40-60%, accuracy of the commercial Fingerprint Identification is 99.5%. V4 of this library is BSL licensed.

  • For this test, I used a variety of device ID and fingerprinting apps, but it turned out that using only one was sufficient. The results you can see in the table below are from Fingerprint OSS Demo app - the same company made this that's behind the powerful https://fingerprint.com. Instead of posting the actual ID values, I replaced them with single-letter representations. All profiles are exactly identical aside from what is in the Setup column.
