<h3 id="Значение">Значение</h3>

<p>Значение - это миллисекунды, прошедшие с начала жизненного цикла текущего документа до создания события.</p>

<p>In newer implementations, the value is a {{domxref("DOMHighResTimeStamp")}}  accurate to 5 microseconds (0.005 ms). In older implementations, the value is a {{domxref("DOMTimeStamp")}}, accurate to a millisecond.</p>

  current timestamp for the keypress event.

<h2 id="Reduced_time_precision">Reduced time precision</h2>

<p>To offer protection against timing attacks and fingerprinting, the precision of <code>event.timeStamp</code> might get rounded depending on browser settings.<br>
 In Firefox, the <code>privacy.reduceTimerPrecision</code>  preference is enabled by default and defaults to 20us in Firefox 59; in 60 it will be 2ms.</p>

<pre class="brush: js">// reduced time precision (2ms) in Firefox 60
event.timeStamp;
// 1519211809934
// 1519211810362
// 1519211811670
// ...


// reduced time precision with `privacy.resistFingerprinting` enabled
event.timeStamp;
// 1519129853500
// 1519129858900
// 1519129864400
// ...
</pre>

<p>In Firefox, you can also enabled <code>privacy.resistFingerprinting</code>, the precision will be 100ms or the value of <code>privacy.resistFingerprinting.reduceTimerPrecision.microseconds</code>, whichever is larger.</p>
