Dan GoodinTracking code that Meta and Russia-based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate Internet protocols, causing Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent mobile app user identities.
Ian Campbell@dangoodin Thanks for reporting on this, as always, Dan.
I'm curious on @mysk 's take here, as well as @GrapheneOS

@mysk @dangoodin @GrapheneOS Heck yeah, Mysk ;)

We took wild path to eliminate tracking. Very curious how the public will receive what we are launching. The feedback of the beta testers was incredibly positive.

@mysk @dangoodin @GrapheneOS Yep, I was one of the beta testers. (I don't think I have any other connection to Mysk than that, so I promise I'm not shilling)
