    Mate thx for the wall post, I did learn a lot.

    I heard about generating unique IDs from harvesting PC data since the days that Adobe flash version were pretty telling, but no idea browsers today leaked so much semi identifying info.

    You are in fact an expert even if there’s people you look up to. Keep sharing and keep being awesome.

      Oh wow, I really didn’t expect such a kind response. I appreciate it, a lot actually. Now I know it was 100% worth it to write this 30 minute essay :D

      Glad to help you mate and thank you

      I don’t wanna say you’re right/wrong with this. Although I definitely agree that it’s always a matter of perspective

      I heard about generating unique IDs from harvesting PC data since the days that Adobe flash version were pretty telling, but no idea browsers today leaked so much semi identifying info.

      Yeah, it’s honestly scary. These huge tracking companies can easily tell who you are, where you live, with whom and also deeply analyze your psyche and psychological state. That’s why I went so deep into the privacy rabbit hole

      It’s also really scary that most people are okay with this
