What is a website render blocking resource?
An explanation of blocking resources on websites.
Browser fingerprinting is a method of collecting and analysing a variety of information from a user's web browser to create a unique "fingerprint." Unlike traditional tracking methods like cookies, browser fingerprinting doesn’t rely on storing data on the user's device. Instead, it gathers details about the browser type, version, operating system, active plugins, timezone, screen resolution, and more.
Browser fingerprinting works by injecting a piece of JavaScript into a page requested by a user, which gathers a range of information about the user's browser environment.
These can include:
The combination of these data points creates a profile of a browser which in the vast majority of cases is unique. This can be used to identify and track users across different websites.
Browser offers unique capabilities for tracking and security; however, it also poses significant challenges to user privacy. A large number of bot management solutions rely heavily on browser fingerprinting/challenges, since the technique relies on running code in the client browser and reporting back to a server, a determined attacker can reverse engineer the code to develop bypasses.
