Gotta sell something!
If you’re seeing hate at wikipedia it is manufactured by Elon Musk.
Someone Luigi this fuck already.
One trick a few years ago (that has been patched in all browsers now) was using favicons.
If you ever clicked a link between 2010 and 2021 and noticed that your browser redirected you several times before taking yo to the correct destination, that was a successful attempt at de-anonymizing you.
What was happening was there was a web of redirects. Each location had a different favicons (the little picture in your browser tab that ids the site visually for you). If your browser had been to that destination before, your browser would have the favicon in cache.
if favicon found, send to redirect free A. If redirect not found, send to redirect tree B.
Then repeat the process. With like 35 redirects you’d have enough binary data to uniquely ID every internet connected device ever made.
Wild.
This was fixed in 2021.
Incognito doesn’t do much beyond not account for your history.
It’s good if you and your mom use the same computer and you don’t want her browser to auto complete with your porn searches. Not for much else.
Right.
Like when I excitedly try to explain the cool way the websites can track you as a user even when you’re incognito 😨
People just have a blank stare, like “what’s incognito”
