There is a proposed API for that.
https://wicg.github.io/netinfo/ https://wicg.github.io/netinfo/
And like most such APIs, it has been kicked around for a long time and it has only been adopted by Chromium on Android, ChromeOS and iOS. It'd be great if it were more widely adopted...
- disposablename 10y agoYay, more browser fingerprinting data points!
- tommorris 10y agoWell, to be fair, as the spec notes, you can already fingerprint on speed by timing how long an AJAX call takes. Also, "on a shit home DSL connection" doesn't really distinguish me from millions of other UK residents.
- mod 10y agoYes it does, when used in combination with the other data points. That said, I always get "unique" on those fingerprinting tests. You can't be "extra unique," so I guess I don't mind it.
