It's maintained. 3 releases only this year. 35 issues closed this year. Working actively on v3 (new major update).

The fact that we didn't want to create a synchronous version of our library based on your request, doesn't mean the repository is not maintained.

Any long operations should be asynchronous in JavaScript. Fingerprinting takes a long time, 100-300ms, making it synchronous goes against the async nature of JS.

Thanks for pointing out, I fixed my statement in README.md file: https://github.com/valnub/fingerprintjs2sync/blob/master/README.md

Thanks @valnub !

I was indeed looking for a maintainer in 2017, but in 2019 I quit my job to work full-time on this project and now it's maintained and supported.
