They are not 'clickbaiting' it in the web-sense, they're just doing what they do with all stories: They use UK tabloid newspaper style headings, have always used this style, and probably will always use this style. It's not clickbaiting, it's a parody on UK newspapers then with an informative article, usually with plenty of sarcasm. I don't think The Register is looking for Google click-through revenue for people with a search phrase consisting 'cacheflow', 'javascript', and 'browser tabs'. The article explicitly mentions > Side-channel attacks on other tabs have been known Yes, it mentions that, and > one of the legitimate reasons why the NoScript plugin was developed It didn't mention NoScript, indeed it didn't. But it did mention the general case > Disabling JavaScript completely will kill off the attack,
