LocalStorage availability
GET /api/fingerprint/local-storageLocalStorage fingerprinting checks window.localStorage availability and capabilities. While nearly universal in modern browsers, LocalStorage may be disabled in private/incognito mode, blocked by privacy extensions, or restricted by corporate policies. The technique tests not just availability but also quota limits, which vary by browser and mode. Safari in private mode disables LocalStorage, Chrome allows it with restrictions. Testing storage persistence across sessions reveals private browsing mode. LocalStorage absence in modern browsers is a strong privacy signal.
