Similarly, the practice of redirecting our browser through redirect links was never intended to be used for tracking, but it has been subverted for that. Cookies were meant to allow persistent sessions with the sites we were visiting, not to allow third parties where we are not visiting to track us across the Internet. It's like, no, that's the way the Internet is going to work, folks.Īnd so it's now supported officially, tracking is officially supported by the HTML protocol rather than being sort of a, you could argue, an unintended side effect, sort of in the way that third-party cookies - I've often talked about how they were never intended to be used to track us. But it is sort of the ultimate in tracking our actions, sort of like the final capitulation to any hope of resisting the idea of being tracked on the Internet. Opera and Edge as it is today all have this enabled. And it was finally ratified in HTML5.Īnd the thing that popped this onto the news is that Google's Chrome browser, which we now know will be echoed, unless Microsoft makes changes, and it's unexpected, in their Edge browser, which is now Chromium based, it is removing the option to disable this. There is a little known feature in URL links that we're all clicking on all the time, when we click on ads or we click on links in articles or just anything on the 'Net, which has languished for about well, let's see, at least a decade. But the more I looked into one of the topics, the more I thought, you know, this really does represent kind of an important drift, if nothing else, in the industry. So we're going to talk about, when I began to assemble the news of the week, nothing really jumped out at me. I can appreciate the dry air thing, but I need some humidity in my life. And so I am very much looking forward to that. This Thanksgiving we're going back to Hawaii. JASON: You're surrounded by the dry air produced by all the technology and gadgets that are whirring in the background. Steve: So I'm sort of looking around because that's what I have right now. And it's like, I'm not really big on the super humid tropical clime. I spent the second half of my honeymoon - the first half was in Napa, the second was in Hawaii. Steve Gibson: Jason, great to be with you this week while Leo is basking in the sun on one of the Hawaiian islands somewhere. But joining me as always, every single week, Steve Gibson, the man about town when it comes to security. He is enjoying himself on the beach, I think.
