The privacy on that site was horrible, and I stoped de-selecting vendors who want permission to track me after two minutes.
But I wanted to ask you: are there any biologics based on this discovery in phase I or even II at this point? Any odds on one of them making it to III?
(also re: your last comment, read William Gibson's The Peripheral; you are describing his "jackpot" scenario)
Just open the page in a private window at that point, and click the "yeah sure track everything bro" button.
"Private browsing" is for not letting your mom see your porno history on the family computer, it does fuck all for you being tracked online.
It deletes the cookies from Incognito, if you only open that site in incognito and then close the tab, it does nothing.
It still knows your IP and browser fingerprinting still works, they still know who you are and what sites you visit. If you change your VPN server you're a little closer, and of course there's Tor assuming you don't get a malicious exit/entry node set, but private browsing isn't as private as people seem to expect.
Fair enough.
It’s actually good in firefox and safari, just don’t use chrome
Nope! This research is all done in rodents, to my knowledge. I'm always like "wow what a cool and maybe lifesaving discovery!.. for people in like a decade+!" 🙃
(thanks for the book rec!)
