The counterpoint (and what this article mentioned in several places) is that the "more aggressive fingerprinting" techniques can have high false positive rates, and then the legitimate users of your site are going to end up thinking it's broken or the data never loads because they're inadvertently triggering your fingerprinting. It feels pretty ridiculous to tell a user "you can't use our site because your system language settings don't match our IP list for that area." Sidestepping the fact that assuming you can tell someone's language from the geo mapping of their IP address is already pretty problematic.[0] [0]: https://medium.com/@kristopolous/stop-guessing-languages-bas... |
