Firefox wouldn’t let this happen btw. Just use firefox peoples
The original report showed this exploit occurred with Firefox too.
Oh no, I guess it’s le shill lion from now on
Old firefox. Removed this fingerprinting some time ago now
Safari is slow to add features, did it work there too?
They’ve been doing this for a very long time, and I was forced to stop using their website as a result. Nothing new here. If you’re on Firefox, you can use an addon called JShelter to alert you when fingerprinting is taking place (and optionally block it).
I did some js reverse engineering work on chinese websites few years ago and it’s legit industry leading tracking tech. Very few websites in the west are even remotely as sophisticated in that regard.
Unsurprisingly China has the best tracking ecosystem but it’s not for the reasons you might think. It’s just so competitive in China that tracking and automation blocking is super important for chinese businesses.
Have you noticed that there’s no such thing like internet archive in China? It’s because nobody wants it. It’s too dangerous to have recorded history of any sort.
Will it be possible for you to share your findings?
I don’t think we’ve discovered anything particularly niche that isn’t public knowledge today. Since Fable-line of LLMs dropped deobfuscating and reverse engineering web and phone apps is very approachable. Github is full of resources and you can start with something like cloakbrowser
None of fingerprint tech is illegal in any way so it’s a free for all and every browser except Brave (which yeah I know sucks) does basically nothing to fix this.
Cartoon villains envy their creativity.
It doesn’t matter, I’ve never bought anything there.
No it didn’t.
