- spot 17y agocould you be more specific? i think most people would be surprised to know that a website can scrape this information out of your browser history.
- mahmud 17y agoIt's using an old CSS history hack. The part where it asks you to "see where you friends have been" is a complete sham. It just wants to get your facebook credentials to viral-market itself across your address book. The best it could do is cajole your friends into using it, and then surreptitiously tell you where it thinks they have been .. a gross violation of privacy.
- spot 17y agothat your browser allows a gross violation of privacy is the point.
- jacquesm 17y agoWell, there are two sides to this, sure it's lame. But if you think about it a little longer, it also allows you to make some money of this technique. If you can figure out what other sites people have visited without asking them about it you can target your advertising to that. Sleazy, sure. But it would work, and I'm sure there will be people doing just that.
