Once again in my own words to make sure more people see it: The Stylish browser extension apparently uploads your browser history https://robertheaton.com/2018/07/02/stylish-browser-extension-steals-your-internet-history/
@bryan Could you please store mine? Just a sec, will copy it... here: *********
I'm going on vacation, take care of my password please!
@groosha sure thing, I got it on file. Will keep safe!
@Gargron Stylus is the extension which doesn't right?
@ohyran I think so
Stylish is tracking websites visited: https://robertheaton.com/2018/07/02/stylish-browser-extension-steals-your-internet-history/
Stylus is a Stylish fork without analytics: https://www.ghacks.net/2017/05/16/stylus-is-a-stylish-fork-without-analytics/
Install Stylus instead: https://github.com/openstyles/stylus
@Gargron "no actively evil intentions (besides those listed on their pricing page)"
"You also have to hope that they have good data access controls, no rogue employees, and strong enough security to prevent the theft of all their data (formerly your data)."
"De-anonymization using [...] the specifics of a user’s browsing history is often straightforward. Who do you think that person visiting https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertjheaton/edit might be?"
So much this. Can be applied to any surveillance valley company.
@Gargron Thanks for the heads up.
@Gargron ACK!
@Gargron email me your password so you don't lose it
