How It Stays Fair (and Private)
The Fair Picker uses your browser’s cryptographic random number generator via window.crypto.getRandomValues() when available. This is stronger than a basic Math.random() approach and helps ensure each flip or roll is independent and unbiased.
- No tracking: Results and preferences are stored locally in your browser only.
- Device-friendly: Works offline once loaded as a PWA; no account required.
- Accessible: Keyboard shortcuts and ARIA labels are provided for better usability.
If your browser does not support cryptographic randomness, the app gracefully falls back, but we recommend a modern browser for best fairness.
