Google is basically omniscient on a user-profile basis with years of search, gmail, and youtube data on users. They should just write and algorithm and let it send out job offers with no human intervention, just like search.

A more SFW version (took out YouPorn): http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ALdqox/right/ This version connects to squareup.com, twitter.com, www.facebook.com, accounts.google.com, accounts.google.com, plus.google.com, login.skype.com, www.flickr.com, www.spotify.com, www.reddit.com, www.tumblr.com, www.expedia.de, www.dropbox.com, www.amazon.com, www.pinterest.com, www.netflix.com, de.foursquare.com, eu.battle.net, store.stea…
This one actually works for me! The other said that I was using Privacy Badger since it couldn't detect anything. I'm not, but I am using uBlock Origin. This one is only wrong about a couple (it doesn't register, for example, that I am logged in to G+, Khan Academy, Steam, Amazon, PayPal, or Skype).
You can actually have privacy badger black all of this if you play around with the settings.
I mean I think its too much to ask for a tool to be able to block everything right without a little human assistance.

#214That's a fun website to look at through Gorhill's uMatrix plugin.

#215FYI, it's very NSFW in the back-end. Your browser is sending requests to obvious porn servers when you hit this link so it can test if you're logged in to them.
I removed the request to Youporn. Sorry if it caused any trouble.

Corporate IT admins, care to comment here? If you see a single connection to youporn, do alarm bells go off?
No one is actually watching.

Doesn't uBlock have a filter specifically for privacy (off by default I believe).
It has several you can choose from in fact, can be enabled in the options pane.

I think it helps in conveying the fact that it is a vulnerability not a feature. So any website (even your own company's internal one) can check stuff like this. And you can't do anything about it. Other than always using private browsing for anything you don't want your company/anyone else to know about.
I believe using private browsing wouldn't matter. The IP I'm browsing from is still going to try pinging all those porn servers, and that's what's getting logged in the filter, not my browser history.
In my second paragraph, I was actually talking about your company sending such requests to know what you are logged into. Doesn't matter if you're using it right now. If you're logged in from days before, your cookies will be there. In incognito they won't be.

#219This is why I use 'browser isolation', which is a way to separate different types of surfing activity into different buckets. Currently the best way to do this in Firefox is to create multiple profiles, or in Chrome, you can simply add a different user/persona. Having one profile, or even an entire dedicated browser just for Twitter/FB ensures the login is not spilled over into other sites. If you're surfing the web…
I've had a fantasy of not just using different browser profiles (effectively) for each site, but routing requests for each site through a different personally-run cloud-hosted proxy.
Someday maybe I'll get around to setting it up. Maybe.

Yes, we initiate protocol zero once the sirens sound off.
