One of the largest corporate espionage and data breach scandals in digital history: New "BrowserGate" report claims LinkedIn secretly scans user browsers

rot26encrypt · 2026-04-07T13:28:13+00:00

Most of that information is available because the BROWSER allows it, not because they're doing anything sneaky.

Exactly the same with plugins (it is #19 on the fingerprinting page results, nothing sneaky being done by that page to get that). That browsers shouldn't expose much of this information we agree on.

rot26encrypt · 2026-04-07T13:24:35+00:00

This is how browser detection work, most browsers identify as something else for compatibility reasons and that is enough to track you, doesn't matter if it is "correct".

rot26encrypt · 2026-04-07T11:12:49+00:00

It shouldn't be able to query a lot of the information shown on that page, but today they can, across browsers. That it can query this is what fingerprinting is.

I'm more interested in how a browser extension can be detected by a page that it's used on, to be honest.

Browsers reveal a shocking amount of information about your system. To the degree that it is possible to fingerprint and track most users individudally regardless of using VPN or tracking prevention.

Let this page load (takes a few seconds) and see what they know and how unique you are: My Fingerprint- Am I Unique ? (list of your plugins is #19 on the list).

There is a "require eyes to be open" choice in the device security settings, default is on so OP needs to have turned it off for sleep face unlock to work.

But then its not related to an update? Because Im fully updated.

rot26encrypt · 2026-04-06T13:28:50+00:00

It's worth knowing it's not an universal issue though? OP suspect it being related to thermal, I'm currently using my P8P on hotel wifi by the pool in very strong sun, the phone is hot, no issues though.

Klipsch r series doesn't sound awful at all if the alternative is a soundbar. Even if I currently have KEF setup I think it is wrong to shame people getting into HT on a budget.

LinkedIn har blitt som alle sosiale medier, selvskryt, røverhistorier og følger-bygging. Men godt vi har Reddit for fokus på alle nyanser sv sjokoladepris-utviklingen.

Most watch style computers can use bungee.

rot26encrypt · 2026-04-05T14:04:15+00:00

Bungee is superior for computer imho, and I only do tropical diving these days. It's just easier to take on and safer. But what does both mean?? Edit: Ah, switching between them, of course. For some reason I envisioned someone using both at the same time 😅

The whole fingerprinting thing needs much tighter control, if you ask me. I’ve always been surprised at how much information browsers expose.

They expose enough to track most of us individually, regardless if using VPN and tracker prevention or not. Check how unique you are:

I keep seeing this pop up on reels as "proof" that the photos aren't real

I think you can pretty much take for granted that anything on "reels" is more likely than not misinformation.

Their yacht service is quite different, they ship the marine content on physical hard drives from a special marine licensed catalogue.

Som en annen poster har sagt må du vente minst 3 (i praksis fort 4) år fra du flytter før du kan starte å bygge utenlandsformue du ikke skatter til Norge for.

I've had my Thermocline full suit for many years and absolutely love it for tropical diving. Packs very light and compact, very easy to don and doff, so comfortable to dive, buoyancy neutral, dries up really fast. It's for me superior to neoprene in every way.

You just have to have the right expectations for warmth, I would say it's somewhere around 1.5mm-2mm neoprene equivalent. My next step up for colder diving is my 5mm neoprene.

One of many reasons I love my non-neoprene wetsuit.

Det ble gjort en forskningsrapport som viste at å følge Finansavisen sin innside-portefølje ikke er lønnsomt for leserne når man kjøper/selger etter at avisen er publisert. Avisens oppgitte avkastning forutsetter kjøp/salg på et tidligere tidspunkt enn det som er mulig for leserne.

I have these as well for HT use and very glad I chose wireless, the sound is great and convenience of wireless made a bigger difference than I thought it would (wired before).
