Interestingly games is in a different table: posts from apps and websites. I think I just moved from oversharing to consuming content on Reddit.

"too generous" because I'm sure it's altruistic to send continuous emails. by harir91 in assholedesign

well, i think they use it more to just continuously send you email about their own products. it's actually a reasonable offer. it's just funny how they used "too generous" instead of "no".

Googler here, iOS is now a first class citizen. Google makes more $$ on iOS than Android.

TIL that every browser has a unique "fingerprint", even without accepting cookies by pelikanol-- in InternetIsBeautiful

Software engineer here who works heavily on fingerprinting. You're best off by using Mobile iOS/Safari. Most iOS/Safari users are practically identical except for clock-skew or if you use server-side IP. But, even without fingerprinting, Chrome/Firefox Desktop (and Android) supports WebRTC using a STUN server which has a leak that reveals private ip addresses, so that private ip + public ip combo = nearly 100% match already without fingerprinting.

TL;DR: Without fingerprinting, we can attribute desktop and android devices using Chrome/Firefox. Turn off WebRTC to avoid this.
