That wouldn't improve privacy over simply not supporting the protocol at all.
- ForHackernews 6y agoIt would if it means advertisers use that protocol instead of devising a zillion underhanded workarounds (html5 canvas fingerprinting, proxying third-party cookies as first-party, etc.)
- arepublicadoceu 6y agoWhat if, we will have a new form of “this site works better on chrome”? By this I mean, check if protocol returns something, else, “this site only works on chrome”. This would effectively force, Firefox at least, to implement this protocol. A version of this protocol with randomly generated data might be better for the user.
