Question: New C++ coding for counting and other identifiers
-
I would like to know if there is any progress on changing the code in order to phase out the old counting method as outlined in the link. It has been a long time since the announcement is there so, what is the latest on that ?
Also is there any update on processor chip, OS, and screen resolution, ip and location information identifiers

Thank you!

The project to remove our unique ID stalled after we encountered unexpected deviations in the number of users counted using other methods. We spent a lot of time researching and understanding the reasons for this. We have concluded that the numbers we get using a unique id are more accurate, so we are sticking with it at the moment. It’s as important not to over-count as it is not to under-count as we develop Vivaldi.

@jane-n What would be some of the benefits for Vivaldi to count the way it currently does ?

@iqaluit for search deal partners or default bookmark partners that create revenue for Vivaldi, accurate counting is preferrable more important than guesswork counting...

Yes but the claim is still there. I don't see it removed though... Just saying.
