Chrome's private browsing is broken
This defeats the purpose of Incognito. If any website is able to tell you're browsing in private mode, then the browser is leaking data that shows it's not private
@cypnk has anyone tried it with Tor?
@DistroJunkie @grainloom I just confirmed that it fails in Tor Browser Bundle as well
This is a seriously worrying trend. If someone under a repressive regime wishes to gain access to information, they must bypass petty revenue protection schemes
@grainloom @DistroJunkie We all have to weigh the costs and benefits of any convenience
At some point, the sacrifices become untenable in a functioning free society. That's true whether it's JavaScript, credit bureaus, cops, or other widespread "thing" that we take for granted as a necessity without questioning the cumulative detriments
And the detriments are indeed cumulative
@cypnk @DistroJunkie we should just kill JS finally

and yes I know that's p much impossible by now and yes i'm angry
