Is it possible to find out the unique browser ID in Chrome Extensions?

Question

Google Chrome

I want to make a voting system for Chrome extension users. Other people who do not use the extension will not need the service. The question is - is it possible to determine a unique user by browser (or hardware) in order to avoid cheating, is there such a possibility in the api extensions?

Answer 1

As far as I know, there is no direct way to determine the uniqueness of a user.
You can try to draw a conclusion based on the user's OS, etc. ( https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/runtime#me...
But these are all hacks.
The most adequate option is to use Google Analytics.
You can also use OAuth or OpenID
(see https ://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chr...
From the methods known to me, this is the most reliable.
Although, maybe something new has appeared recently, so I will follow the answers in this question =)
Good luck developing the extension!

Answer 2

If you can pull data from the system, then the question is just stupid.
