> A more realistic example IMO is the twitter friend leak one provided in the Github thread. Send an anchor like "twitter.com#:~:text=@handle" and see if their page-load matches the standard twitter homepage load, or did their browser scroll them halfway down the page and load additional stuff? If so, you can assume these 2 users are friends.,
It's still not realistic at all unless you can already snoop on them in some way.
The starting assumption here is "I assume I already violated someone's privacy in a massive way." Like, ok, sure you can violate it a little more in some situations maybe. But does this introduce any new risks in situations where user privacy hasn't already been so massively hijacked?
And since Chrome, along with others, are moving towards encrypted DNS, the feasibility of getting these DNS lookups is even less plausible than it is today. You need to actually be able to snoop on all the target's network traffic.
