> The entire DAG, fingerprint manifest schema, harvesting process, is documented. We even commit our live benchmarks to the public record (mochi on a Linux datacenter IP scored a suspect_score: 8 and bot: not_detected against FingerprintJS Pro v4).
Doesn't this defeats the purpose? Essentially giving away the mechanism to the ones implementing fingerprint so they can learn how to detect you and starting a cat/mouse chase in the open
There's a reason why some kinds of technology stay opaque, not always publishing these things help in the way you think they do
it's not that much of a black box when you can literally see the API's they call(albeit some with more effort than others), but i prefer not to engage in theatre..
fair point, I was mostly referring to how certain things are only useful because they do not have wide adoption and pushing for adoption breaks their value (meaning widespread adoption leads to the other side catching up to it)
