Mobile devices

[barmstrong]

We've noticed that mobile devices often have the same fingerprint (all iphones, galaxy nexuses, etc get grouped together).

I'm thinking if the user agent has 'mobile' in it (or whatever to detect mobile devices) it we should include the IP address in the hash to distinguish them.

What do you think?

It's probably a good idea, yes.

Feel free to fork and add what you need—I'm not using the plugin myself anymore, and I'm busy enough as it is, so I won't be adding anything in the foreseeable future.

Probably there are other browser characteristics to add in this case. I've
been thinking in adding a random cookie per user, or using a existing
cookie (google analytics) to the fingerprint.
