@Migueldeicaza AI slop site just learned what basic fingerprinting is
@Migueldeicaza@mastodon.social
Vivaldi was found wanting.
Firefox was quite a bit better.
Firefox Focus was basically the same.
Surprisingly Cromite was the best overall.
All, for whatever reason, reported the exact gyroscope position.
My question is why the fuck do browsers even report this data
@Migueldeicaza I know you knew the browser provided all of that before you opened the link. I did too.
Were you still as freaked out as me, even though you knew it was gonna happen?
@Sempf I really loved the tone, typography and disclosure- such a. Rautiful way of presenting it :-)
@Migueldeicaza @Sempf thank you so much for sharing that link! I know someone who'll love it.
Now I'm wondering if there's anything similar showing what your average commercial social media, games and AI chatbot apps are collecting...
