Hey @barjin , It happens even in simple fingerprint generation like below

            const fingerprintGen = new FingerprintGenerator({
              devices: ["desktop"],
              browsers: [{ name: "chrome", minVersion: 130 }],
              locales: ["en-US", "en"],
            });

@barjin Have created a PR, I think its a good workaround to avoid this issue, kindly take a look 😄

Hi @jagadeshjai, unfortunately, I didn't manage to replicate the error with your code snippet. I wrapped it in a for-loop like this:

import {
    FingerprintGenerator
} from 'fingerprint-generator';

const fingerprintGen = new FingerprintGenerator({
    devices: ["desktop"],
    browsers: [{ name: "chrome", minVersion: 130 }],
    locales: ["en-US", "en"],
});

try {
    for (let i = 0; i < 1e4; i++) {
        fingerprintGen.getFingerprint();
    }
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Fingerprint generator stress test failed with', error);
}

console.log('Fingerprint generator passed the stress test.');

Even when run repeatedly, I didn't manage to get the error you're mentioning. Are you sure you're running the latest version of this package (2.1.75)? If not, try updating the package and rerunning your tests.
