Why You Shouldn't Watch Porn on Your iPad or iPhone

  So it basically means we could track users using local storage instead of cookies...? This is bad.

  I thought this was going to be about a much riskier issue that I've heard surprisingly few complaints about. iOS apps take a screenshot when you close them so they can show that right away when reopened to cover the load time. This makes perfect sense except the problem is the screenshots seem to frequently get mixed up and you'll get a random screenshot from weeks ago when opening Safari. This happens to me often and I have a moment of, "Wait, I didn't think that was still ope-- oh, there's the real last site." But I've thought about what would happen if someone was watching porn weeks ago and then opened Safari in front of others in a professional setting.

  Just dedicate a browser other than your normal one to porn. Eg if you use Safari use the Opera browser for porn.

    That doesn't prevent opera from storing data in HTML5.

      Just kill the app afterwards. "This meta info of the media played is only removed after you forcefully close the browser." And no worries about the saved screenshot either.

  It would be nice if apple would disable all these "features" when the user wants to go incognito.

  i think the porn word in the title is some poor link bait.
