Well, the code to look at JS features must be written in JS itself (adding features to an array, sending them over JSON, redirecting to a new page, etc.). I'll pull out my Dev Console and fuck with it (set a breakpoint and change that part of the code), and make them think I'm using lynx instead of Safari.
So, I don't think you can ever really know what browser your users use.
- lmm 14y agoSure. And even if you could, you couldn't really know whether they like cheap hotels based on it. The question is whether you can get a signal that's statistically well correlated enough to be useful.
- rmc 14y agoActually in this case you could infer they like cheap hotels (or don't like expensive ones). If someone is willing to go to a lot of effort to hide who they are, to hunt for bargains, or check they are getting a good price, they are probably very price sensitive, and would like the cheapest hotel you have, they've shown they are willing to waste their own time to get cheaper prices.
- lmm 14y agoNot reliably. There are plenty of affluent privacy nuts who care a lot about making sure they're not tracked but aren't particularly price-sensitive.
