When everybody was running Windows on a smorgasbord of hardware / patchlevel / plugins / fonts, it was easy to fingerprint. Are we moving towards a more monolithic landscape where fingerprinting is less able to track individual users?
* If I have a fleet of Chromebooks running the same version of Chrome OS, will they all have the same fingerprint?
* Will, say, all iPhones 6 with the same hardware parts, running the same Mobile Safari and iOS version, have the same fingerprint?
Thank you!
