About
Fingerprint is a commercial browser fingerprinting solution that queries browser attributes and computes a hashed visitor identifier from them.
Modernizr is an open-source feature detection library that identifies browser support for 
HTML, 
CSS, and 
JavaScript features and allows websites to adapt accordingly.
It enables developers to detect supported browser features at runtime, apply progressive enhancement, load polyfills only when required, and provide fallbacks for unsupported features.
