The article is completely accurate, they just say that we already knew it. This forum tends to forget that the majority of humans on Earth do not live on the forum.

I agree with this actually, but we can still call a spade a spade.
Because it isnât a new technique and the privacy issues it presents were not broadly âpreviously overlookedâ as the article states. Claiming something is more novel than it is kind of inherently sensationalist.

This is all relative.
If you go by this standard its is very much so overlooked. The article is seemingly geared towards ânormiesâ who probably do overlook this and just use filter lists based on reddit and LTT suggestions.
uBO is more effective because it can inspect the actual requests rather than just block on domain name alone.
I think weâll all agree that the more we talk about something deemed a problem, the better off everyone will be.
If we zoom out for two seconds, 99.99% of people remain essentially normies who know nothing about privacy. If, as a privacy-oriented community, we can make this subject audible to the big VPNs, Brave and blocklists, perhaps the situation will improve, for the good of everyone.

Normies donât âjust use filter lists based on reddit and LTT suggestionsâ, I think. They only know Firefox and NordVPN.
haha maybe I am just projecting my own personal experience to much then. I was introduced to pi-hole and by extension filter lists via LTT from this video.
Talk about a sensationalist title⌠

Considering VPNs donât provide and are not meant for anonymity, this is not shocking. Just a new way to fingerprint better I suppose.
Click bait page/title.
