They said it: privacy
- naikrovek 2y agoYep, privacy. Those of you who work writing javascript to fingerprint browsers and collect user behavior in exchange for a paycheck, you are the worst kind of person. There are a lot of you on here and I expect to be "punished" for this view, but my view on this will never change.
- MatthiasPortzel 2y agoThe push-back is not from the tiny number of JavaScript developers writing finger-printing scripts, but rather the huge number of JavaScript developers (including me) who are offended that you’re unwilling to run JS because you’re afraid that it’s going to finger-print you. You have a right to take steps that make you comfortable that your privacy is being protected. But don’t complain about websites not working if you’ve decided you don’t trust them to run JavaScript.
