The idea with browser fingerprint is to look other things than the
browser itself as operating system, installed plugins and supported
fonts, those usually will stay the same even if you change browser, but
the information need ain't accessible for PHP, you would need to relay
on javascript and then we are off topic and the OP should be looking for
answers elsewhere.
