Well, it might be a coincidence, but it also wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't. Your identity was probably linked using fingerprinting. Private browsing mode offers almost zero protection against this. Even Tor isn't protected unless you enable the Safest security level (= completely disable JavaScript). This might even be done through multiple levels of indirection (mobile browser fingerprint -> Google account -> desktop browser fingerprint).


Maybe we need HDCP headphones/speakers?


No, we need HDCP ears.


Me neither, possibly because JSX, Svelte etc. do actually interpret it that way, deviating from HTML.


uBlock Origin is specifically one of the whitelisted extensions, and you can disable this feature by setting extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled to false (in about:config)


Yeah, the average user will figure that out. It's still defined as a win for advertisers because not every users will know to do this and also when this happens... They'll be able to post record profits on quarterly earnings.


Well, if you consider the accompanying HTML as well as a user mindlessly clicking orange squares as part of the execution, then yes, it is: https://jsfiddle.net/Camilo/eQyBa/


I came across that as well, as well as these two interesting blog posts:

So yeah, it's most likely as powerful as our current computers.


You can cycle the captcha.


It can, using CSS injection: example.com##body:style(overflow: auto !important)


That's kinda nice... trying to figure out if it needs to even be per-site or not... locking overflow's almost always gotta be hinky, doesn't it?

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks.


If you want to make it work for all sites, you need to turn on allowGenericProceduralFilters in the advanced settings.


Well, I use Stylus, and it works fine on Android (but you need to use a "custom addon collection" to add it, which is only available on Beta and Nightly). I see no reason why Stylish wouldn't also work.

Well that's very out of the way, can't believe that existed for 2 and a half years. I'll look into it.


I just use brand accounts for this. You can create them here: https://www.youtube.com/channel_switcher

It's the best hidden feature of YouTube. You switch using the normal account switcher.


Interesting, thanks.


If you're on Mastodon, you need to use @startrek@startrek.website instead of !startrek@startrek.website


That works but I had already searched startrek@startrek.website without the prefix and followed it. Does that give me some way to post on the site without having to create an account?
