Bad news: 'Unblockable' web trackers emerge. Good news: Firefox with uBlock Origin can stop it. Chrome, not so much

I don't understand most of what that article says. Does DoH have any effect on this exploit? But I use FF with uBO so I don't care, apparently.
My take away was the bad guys have found a way to continue tracking you site-to-site and to fingerprint your browser (tie those browsing activities to you individually) by using DNS to get around the browser setting
so if you do not have static ip address, the data mined is questionable. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
