Some more fun tidbits:
> ProductSub returns 20030107 for Chrome and Safari, because that's the release date for Safari which used an Apple fork of WebKit. Chrome also uses this fork. For Firefox, it's 20100101. I don't know why.
> Vendor returns "Google Inc." for Chrome, but undefined for everything else.
> Navigator can tell if your device has a touch screen
> Navigator can tell how many logical cores you have
> appCodeName always returns "Mozilla" and appName always "Netscape"
> Navigator can tell if you're using: Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, Bluetooth, or WiMAX
> Navigator knows how much RAM you have
> And the exact plugins you're using. A Firefox useragent won't hide 'type':'application/x-google-chrome-pdf'
> Your screen can be shared through navigator -- without your permission
> Languages are set as either `US-en` or `en` to differentiate between Americans and British
> Your battery can be acpi'd by Navigator
> File permissions can be read, revealing usernames
And this is just navigator, wait till you see all the fun things you can do with Javascript and canvas.
- silverwind 9y ago> For Firefox, it's 20100101. I don't know why. At some point in time, that date was Firefox's build date. Then, some concerns were raised about that date allowing sites to track users based on that date so it was set to 20100101.
