What every Browser knows about you

**aspkin** · #1 04-02-2016

A very interesting website about, 'What every Browser knows about you'

What struck me was fact that this website could see my social media logins. That information isn't shared unless I give permission of course but just having the knowledge is powerful.

Local IP address and browser addons is interesting as well.

What every Browser knows about you

It's eye opening.

Now I need to figure out how to add what's on this website for IPBurger.com.. that would be nice to know.

You should start by moving this to the main eBay section so people will actually read it.

IPBurger.com really needs an overhaul, it's ancient....

Crazy. Anybody try it on VMware I wonder if it can somehow see through it?

Its weird, because it listed my GPU as Firefox, and I didn't have Noscript installed.

Firefox is always on top of blocking info going out - good stuff

Does this go thru user accounts as well?

Don't be offended, just trying to get ipburger.com a better site. Take it as a productive criticism.

Interesting, but it linked me to Twitter. I don't have an account on Twitter and I have never logged on to Twitter. Twitter would be too much of a waste of time for me. People send tweets about the restaurant they are at...

This is amazing! just what I was looking for for the past few weeks! Though I must say there is a lot more information leaked, but it didn't seem to show that (maybe needs an update).

Gotta say though, the creepiest one was the fact that it knew my laptop battery is currently being charged! Why would any website need to know that?!

glacier922 · #16 05-16-2016

Yea for sure its creepy. Like how I said earlier how Amazon suspended one of my accounts, oh yea, they had to have seen something. Same thing for Google, when I try to make an account with two user accounts too quickly, then wham! They want voice verification, meaning that they have a idea it's the same person.

Slight tangent - that website reveals most of what you would expect. Clearly mac address isn't on there. But a stealth tip: always play safe, than sorry.

It's all about the scripts, to be exact, Javascript. It's a powerful scripting language but also could be used to track everything....

glacier922 · #19 05-16-2016

Yes I have read thru this very carefully, trying to figure out what made Amazon spot me. Most likely browser fingerprints. But, if they really wanted to, they could do it thru javascripts, where then they can get the MAC address, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

miketyson · #20 05-16-2016

Noscript would not work on ebay for me.

Thanks for the info, will check it out.

If you have flash plugin enabled (and most of us have), you will be leaking 10x more information. Flash launches as a separate process in OS and has the same level of access to the system as most applications you use everyday. Through this enormous amount of information can be revealed.
