For me the issue is a browser shouldn’t be making the information on the topics of sites I visit available to anyone who asks

Browsers don’t do that today and the result is that AD networks fingerprint and track you to try and serve you more relevant content. The argument from supporters is that this is a step away from the “fingerprint and track” status quo MO. The argument from detractors is that it doesn't quite achieve that goal. All you need to address your concern is for access to the API to be user-configurable.

The API to be off by default i.e. it’s opt in and not opt out

And it should be behind a permissions prompt

> I temporarily disabled extensions. I opened a private browsing window. FYI When using Chrome, incognito window carries a lot of baggage. For issues like this use Guest profile as it doesn't include extensions, caches, storage, etc. Optionally do a Google search first to seed it with cookies.

What are you on about? There's no sign of 'johnklos' quoting me as you claim. It literally appears in his own words, and he even wrote it in a manner that could not possibly be confused with my style of writing. Just check my recent comment history? Frankly, it's just impossible for there to be a 17 word phrase in that comment that can be interpreted as a quotation, even by a teenager who only started learning Englis…

I get it now! you're a comedian! thanks for the laughs - anyone who can straightfacedly deny what they wrote, and people referencing it such an obvious manner that you still deny must be in it for the humor value

Like I said, contact dang, or any other HN user you trust, and ask for their opinion on this 'gaslighting', on the meaning of quoting another HN user, that you believe to be happening.

If they confirm your view then post it here, because I think many passing readers would be curious in seeing it too.
