Hi, I am the author of the post. I run some fingerprinting tests sometimes for research purposes. Nevertheless I don't see which of the tests would ask for any audio or photos permissions. Which browser were you using?
- CJefferson 8y agoFirefox mobile
- the_pwner224 8y agoI'm on firefox mobile (Fennec F-Droid) and didn't get any permission request, on this page or a few of the other recent articles on that website... The site doesn't use HTTPS, perhaps someone is tampering with your connection? Some ISPs have been known to do that, but not for very nefarious purposes AFAIK.
- Thorrez 8y agoThe site uses https for me (and the HN link is https too). It does make 3 http requests, all for gravatar jpeg files.
- keyle 8y agoFYI Safari on macos had a permanent beachball on the page...
- jstanley 8y agoI'm on "Fennec F-Droid" (basically a debadged Firefox Mobile) and I too received an audio recording permission popup.
- johndough 8y ago> I run some fingerprinting tests Is that still legal considering the GDPR?
