What are the differences between fingerprintjs (free) vs thumbarkjs? Which one is better? #15

Curious, how it stacks against fingerprintjs as I don't know much about it so would be good to hear your thoughts. Also, a comparison with creepjs would be great as well. |

FingerprintJS has covered more of the rare edge cases than what I have. ThumbmarkJS works equally well, or sometimes even better, in let's say 97% of the browsers, but FingerprintJS has better performance in the remaining 3%. The reasons are pretty detailed. I'm able to actually use canvas fingerprinting in Samsung Internet, while FingerprintJS just disabled it. Also ThumbmarkJS has a persistent fingerprint in Firefox normal vs. Incognito, while FingerprintJS does not. CreepJS is not a library meant for the same thing. The code they have is excellent, very precise, elaborate etc. but it's heavy and not something you'd ever run on large scale. They're proving how you are quite unique with a lot of techniques, but there's a lot there that makes it not production ready like this library. Just too heavy. |
