    A some recently website someone shared showed, there are some bits of data you automatically share with websites without them asking.

      Did I just have a stroke, or is this comment incomprehensible to everyone else too?

        Sorry, I was like half asleep. I can’t find it, there was a website I saw shared somewhere on Lemmy that showed you all the info you automatically shared when visiting a website and it pointed out stuff that they collected without even asking for it. The implication is that your device gives websites data involuntarily; the website wasn’t asking for it.

            Funny that it just doesn’t work with JS disabled.

              Disabling js disables breaks fingerprinting, but also breaks a lot of websites

                So funny that a site about tracking needs more tracking to work.
