personally, im not terribly sure of the value of it at all. @poorejc probably has more context, but it being in the extension build _seems_ pointless, as the return value of `detect` isnt' even used. in the client library, it seems it is used to extract the browser vendor/version. it does do a _little_ more than use the useragent, but it seems like work that could be done in post-processing. other client fingerprinting techniques that have become popular lately would include webgl/audiocontext fingerprinting, and would probably be significantly more robust. example of such a library: [fingerprintjs](https://github.com/fingerprintjs/fingerprintjs) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
