Plugins value not consistent using the same browser

Open mattmw24 opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

The plugins value seems to order the plugins inconsistently when I use the same browser, which results in a different fingerprint:

So the plugins listed is consistent, but when they are ordered differently (for some reason), I get a new fingerprint value?

Let me know if I wrong, but think this is the result of getPlugins method; which just returns a string representation of navigator.plugins (https://github.com/jackspirou/clientjs/blob/master/src/client.js#L461). So, if the order change it is because navigator.plugins was ordered differently.

However, this inconsistency should not be an issue in v1.0.0-rc.1. Both generated fingerprints would be similar and you can know how similar (or different) they are. It is still in development, so you will probably face many bugs. Please don't hesitate to contibute.
