Google researchers find serious privacy risks in Safari’s anti-tracking system
- codezero 7y agoThe PDF of the findings is here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.07421.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.07421.pdf The way the anti-tracking is worked around is to... use the anti-tracking very intentionally. It's pretty clever. Apparently Apple has addressed a number of the techniques, but I'm sure more will surface. The incentives for the adtech industry to find workarounds is huge, and always has been, I have a feeling it'll continue to be a game of whack-a-mole. Also, as a nerdy aside, looking at the resources on the PoC pages, this work looks to have been done in July of last year.
