If I clear all history in the last 1 hour (see example below), I get a new identifier.

I'm using Chrome 88 on latest MacOS

... And that is probably a good thing, see below.

To the author of this repo: In Germany (and probably other countries too) it is a wise thing to first explicitly inform and ask the user for his agreement, before you let him enter the test site, and to provide an option to delete the created cookie on that test site (This, BTW, is also true for the author of Evercookie, there is no "delete the cookie" button on that site).

The main reasons are:

  1. Don't be a dick
  2. Usability
  3. German law, see § 202a of the German Criminal Code (English version) (if you collect this data on the test page without asking the user first, he has not authorized you to do so).
