As a sidenote, anyone else noticed the heavy amount of browser fingerprinting on Bloomberg sites? I have a few extensions that block browser fingerprinting and whenever I go on Bloomberg sites, I get a bunch of warnings about canvas, fonts etc fingerprinting. Then, I'm immediately redirected to a page where I have to enter a recaptcha to view the page [0]. That page also states that they've "detected unusual activity from your network" winch is a total lie because if I disable those, I don't get a warning and get a paywall instead.

- crashedsnow 7y agoThe whole of the internet is a patchwork of ad blockers and ad block mitigations which come in the form of both aggressive JavaScript and the much-more-insidious passive aggressive "sponsored content". Possible that this fingerprinting is all in service of trying desperately to monetize. Unfortunately we only have ourselves to blame.
