I noticed this too; uMaxtrix should catch this entire class of attack. Privacy Badger probably wouldn't - it watches for this sort of export, but its three-strikes rule targets trackers and misses unique attacks. Killing JS outright would do the trick also, but it looks like it would also have broken Newegg's checkout page.
Looks like yet another point for "treat web browsing as adversarial". The price of allowing pages to load freely isn't just high weight, trackers, and ads - all too frequently it's actual security failures. I understand that ad/tracker blocking is a problem for keeping sites profitable, but I can't really imagine bending on that issue as long as monetization techniques and threat vectors overlap so heavily.
