    A Large-scale Measurement Study of Browser Fingerprint

    Software Engineer & Web Privacy Research Assistant

    Description: Made a large-scale measurement of browser fingerprint, including popular features introduced by multiple research papers. Collected more than 15,500,788 visiting records from 226 countries, 960,853 pieces of dynamics information belonging to 661,827 browser instances. We analyzed the robustness, uniqueness of each feature and also extracted the dynamics of browser fingerprints and the reason for fingerprints changing.
