There are a lot of trolls out there who are tech competent compared to regular forum members. Some of them are like resilient cockroaches.

It seems like Google Chrome is about to follow in the footsteps of Mozilla Firefox. I remember seeing an article regarding Google Chrome and blocking fingerprinting, but I cannot find it at the moment. Regardless, this is a sign for things to come. Would that essentially be the death of this plugin?

This probably needs some love @sam to bring it up to date. Should we mark it as broken for now?
I think it is semi-deprecated from my point of view since what it is trying to do is so difficult. What do you think @dan?

Either mine is now working or I’m missing something, do fingerprints not show even if there’s no conflict?
(also the text reads odd “No similar signature were found.”)
no results
and setting made about a week back
Am I in error in how this works or do I need to address something?
Anyone?

Not working on 2.7.4. Been checking every day for over 2 weeks now, it shows the same list of users every time.

Same issue.
Not working in 2.8.0.beta2 also. It shows last seen when I seen of the user 26 may when I see in this plugin.
I thought it was only me.

Fingerprintjs2 script did not load after I updated it to the latest version. I pushed a fix and it should work fine now. Sorry for the issues!
Over the time, there have been many nails in the coffin and there are still ways to fingerprint browsers. From quickly skimming through the article you linked it looks like it is just a way to hide user’s IP and unfortunately that means fingerprinting is still a possibility (as it relies more on browser’s characteristics rather than the IP).

Did I miss enabling a permission or?
Mine’s not worked to date
Thank you for your help
There is a way to repurpose plugin to something that will work with only server side information.
I was recommended this plugin in Discourse check the user IP for block list only on login. Discourse don’t really care about users IP, don’t ban user by IP by default (you need to do it manually), and about new user with same IP as banned one you can find only accidentally. Fingerprinting plugin not really helped me, because don’t check IP too.
Some overview page with users that have matching IP with banned accounts would be useful.
And also there is services like https://ip-api.com/ that allow to check if IP is proxy/vpn, can be another useful tool.
Besides IP discourse also have user email. I often see trolls with email from temporary email services, this can be indicator of a bad user too.
Regardless, fingerprinting is becoming harder and harder these days. I cannot imagine it’ll be possible for much longer due to companies and people that are cautious about their privacy.
Thanks for the fix. Working now. 
Hello, please, clarify - can Admin see an all 20 characteristics for each user? Or only a mixed incomprehensible fingerprint numbers?
Une PR serait-elle la bienvenue pour rendre ce plugin (facultativement) disponible également pour les modérateurs ?

Salut,
Je ne suis pas sûr si c’est la mise à jour complète du forum. Cependant, il y avait une fonctionnalité qui permettait de trouver automatiquement les utilisateurs utilisant la même adresse IP, etc., comme prévu. Cependant, elle est maintenant vide et je dois rechercher manuellement les utilisateurs. Avec plus de 8 000 utilisateurs, ce n’est pas idéal.
Pourriez-vous examiner cela, s’il vous plaît, ou va-t-il tomber dans la catégorie des bugs ?
Également intéressé par le fonctionnement de ce plugin pour identifier les marionnettes.

Voulez-vous dire le plugin ou les fonctionnalités d’administration de Discourse ? Nous sommes sur la version 3.1.4 et Discourse continue de nous montrer les membres utilisant la même adresse IP grâce à l’outil de recherche d’IP. Est-ce ce que vous entendez par recherche manuelle ?
Je suis plus intéressé de savoir si ce plugin fonctionne toujours sur la version 3.1.
