The article is from 2020, and I don't think I've ever seen a site using this approach yet. It is an egregious attempt to circumvent the Same Origin security policy in browsers that developers and privacy advocates should rightly be angry at, but it doesn't seem to have caught on. That's something to be thankful for.

What have you been looking for? It seems like this would be hard to observe.
