Were you shocked?

I was shaken to the core the first time I was asked to try out that link during WinterABC26 Theme on Digital Identity and Privacy on a post over at mydialectics.wordpress.com.

I thought I understood surveillance capitalism but watching my own machine confess in real time was another thing entirely.

People talk about “online privacy” as though it’s a setting we can control. Since You Arrived is proof it’s closer to a wide open door giving us an illusion of being secured

    So, what browser did you use? I did this with Chrome. I’d be interested to see the results with something like Brave.

      I use Chrome but I have been meaning to try out Brave they say it’s better at covering up your tracks and blocking adverts … especially the last bit. 🤣

        I use ghostery, ublock origins lite and Adblock plus on chrome for ads. It works very well.

      The data points are almost the same… With chrome based browsers giving away the most data
