The second link that follows that one (http://webkay.robinlinus.com/ http://webkay.robinlinus.com/) really terrified me. I had no idea my private network hosts (192.168.X.X) or my private IP address could be scanned by a random webpage. Or the fact that the webpage could find out my laptop was charging with x% percent charge in real time, or the make and model of my machine and GPU. The geo location accuracy of my ip was also scarily accurate. All this when running in incognito with ad blockers. That is very close to being PII.
- drewmol 9y agoThanks for this link, reminded me to install noscript on my Android/Firefox install!
- propogandist 9y agono script's not very useful anymore for desktop, you need something like uMatrix for the modern web
- i2shar 9y agoI researched and installed uMatrix immediately, but (due respect to the creator) the application is so hard to use and broke several web pages. I also installed WebRTC Leak Prevent Tool that helped a little.
