How do you guard against hash collision?



Based on the blog - anyone who shares a IP address (such as inside a company network) would effectively look the same.


And given most companies run managed browsers on managed systems, the user agent is going to collide too


Not just inside a company network. CGNAT is pretty commonplace nowadays.


Indeed. This is one of the limitations to our approach. We're thinking of ways to workaround it. Please shout if you have any ideas ;)


If/When IPv6 is widely used the problem should fade away.
