What the Internet knows about you

I had never heard of it before. I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near an expert on client-side exploits but still...

I keep up with most tech-related news as well as I can and I had never heard of it until now...

I'd be interested to see how many people actually have heard about it before.

This isn't an exploit, it is a feature of almost every modern browser.

Applying different style to visited links is a feature. The trick to pull the info back to server is an exploit.

I wasn't aware that sharing your browser history with every website that cares to check it was a 'feature'.

I think that was the point...

Most people aren't aware of this.

Hopefully it was a success for you!
