Tried Chrome, Brave and Firefox, got 3 different IDs.

On one of the browsers it also didn't detect slack and vscode being installed.

Hi, agilob. I've updated the demo for Chromium and made it work slower, in order to increase accuracy. See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27147325

Now I got an identifier that you saw 2 times before:

>This is your identifier. It was seen 2 times among 8828 tests so far.

None of these was my run. Still, didn't detect vscode :)

Is it you main browser in which you had used slack url's/ set slack to always handle the links?

Or is it the opposite?

Or maybe something else?
