## What is Browser Fingerprinting?
Browser fingerprinting is a powerful method that websites use to collect information about your browser type and version, as well as your operating system, active plugins, time zone, language, screen resolution and various other active settings. Like other fingerprinting techniques, these datapoints are matched inside a database of known profiles to see if the visitor is a real person or an automated program.
To get these all these details, some of the techniques used are:
- [Canvas Fingerprinting](https://github.com/reanalytics-databoutique/webscraping-open-doc/blob/main/Pages/Antibot/Canvasfingerprint.md)
- [WebGL Fingerprinting](https://github.com/reanalytics-databoutique/webscraping-open-doc/blob/main/Pages/Antibot/Webglfingerprint.md)
- [Device Fingerprinting](https://github.com/reanalytics-databoutique/webscraping-open-doc/blob/main/Pages/Antibot/Devicefingerprint.md)

The difference between passive fingerprinting and active fingerprinting is that active fingerprinting sends data to "query" the client connecting while passive does not.

There are several layers of attributes that can be checked and for each one, there's a different technique:
- [TCP/IP Fingerprint](https://github.com/reanalytics-databoutique/webscraping-open-doc/blob/main/Pages/Antibot/TcpFingerprint.md)
- [TLS fingerprint](https://github.com/reanalytics-databoutique/webscraping-open-doc/blob/main/Pages/Antibot/TLSFingerprint.md)
- [HTTP Fingerprint](https://github.com/reanalytics-databoutique/webscraping-open-doc/blob/main/Pages/Antibot/HttpFingerprint.md)
- [TCP/IP Fingerprint](https://github.com/TheWebScrapingClub/webscraping-from-0-to-hero/blob/main/Pages/5.Antibot/TcpFingerprint.md)
- [TLS fingerprint](https://github.com/TheWebScrapingClub/webscraping-from-0-to-hero/blob/main/Pages/5.Antibot/TLSFingerprint.md)
- [HTTP Fingerprint](https://github.com/TheWebScrapingClub/webscraping-from-0-to-hero/blob/main/Pages/5.Antibot/HttpFingerprint.md)

## Possible solutions
Generally speaking, the passive fingerprinting techniques block the configuration "outliers", so using a plausible and real world setting in the scraper is the best way to avoid blocks.
