Javascript already brought all 3 letter agencies to climax long time ago.
Javascript based fingerprinting is capable of uniquely identifying every single one of us and the reason it's not everywhere because it's too slow for commercial web. I haven't looked into webGPU yet but it seems like this could greatly speed up the fingerprinting process.
- arp242 3y agoThe alternative to webapps in JavaScript are desktop apps. Do you really think the situation would have been better with desktop apps? sha256(/etc/passwd) or whatever the equivalent of that is on Windows and you're done. Even in a sandbox where you don't have access to these files there are still plenty of opportunities, such as just reading the environment, solib versions, testing support for hardware features, etc.
