Is it possible to generate fingerprint using javascript at a device level and not browser level?

7.2k views Asked by At

I tried fingerprintJS, but that generates fingerprint at a browser level. I was wondering if we can uniquely identify a device, something like generating a fingerprint from chrome, firefox, or any browser on a device that should give the same value.

Yes you can create a fingerprint of the browser or device using different libraries. Do note that protections against fingerprinting are becoming more popular across browsers, so their use may not be of great importance in the future.

See: https://blog.jscrambler.com/introduction-to-device-fingerprinting/ for an explanation and some simple JS.
