Fails fingerprintjs2 has_lied_browser
Hi,
fingerprintjs2 is an open-source browser fingerprinting library that can detect Random Agent Spoofer easily.
Looking at the code it does this with the user agent.
Can this be fixed?
For me everything works well with fingerprintjs2 (here is the official test page: https://valve.github.io/fingerprintjs2/), i.e. RAS protects well the identity.
Are you using script injection? I use that test page and I get has_lied_browser=true

Sorry, I misinterpreted what you said. Yes, it detects that the OS and browser (when UA changed accordingly) are not the real ones.
has_lied_os = true
has_lied_browser = true
You are right, it should be investigated, the code of the library is open.
Though, I would NOT be worried too much about this, as the idea is to prevent exact tagging/IDing you, not to perfectly spoof all the parameters, i.e. if the lib can't identify you, but can say that you're cheating, that's OK for me, though some sites may wish to ban you/flag suspisious for this.
More worrying is the hardware/computer fingerprinting at http://www.uniquemachine.org. The only way I found to protect from this is by disabling WebGL AND canvas. I don't mind disabling WebGL, but disabling canvas breaks some sites.
I've found canvas breaks sites as well.
