IP address detection for geo-location or MAC address much secure?
- by SuperRomia
Recent study many websites are using geo-location technology on their Websites.
I'm planning to implement one website which can be detect the web visitor more accurate. An found that Mozilla is using some kind of detect MAC address technology in their Geo-Location web service. Is it violate some privacy issue?
I believe most of Geo-location service providers only offer country to city level. But the Mac address detection enable to locate the web visitors' location more correctly than using IP address detection.
If detect the MAC address is not practical, which geo-location service provider is offering more accurate data to detect my Website visitor around the world?
