J'ai vérifié les allégations de https://browsergate.eu (LinkedIn scanne plus de 6000 extensions de Chrome au démarrage).

1. c'est vrai
2. Firefox n'est pas impacté

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

À première vue, ce qu'ils écrivent est juste. Ils confirment que le scan n'est pas effectif pour Firefox, et qu'uBlock Origin bloque la plupart des tentatives de collection de données :

« 4. Use uBlock Origin: With the "Fingerprinting Protection" filter list, many of the canvas and WebGL fingerprinting calls can be neutralized »
