SensorID – tracking smartphones by misusing their sensor data:

– iOS before 12.2 and some Android devices leak unique fingerprints via all common web browsers
– iOS 12.2 or higher adds random noise to prevent fingerprinting (CVE-2019-8541)
– Google Pixel 2 and 3 (and maybe more Android devices) are vulnerable and offer no fixes, according to the paper
– users should disable JavaScript, if possible
