      XPost: comp.mobile.android, alt.internet.wireless       From: x@y.Invalid              Per (PeteCresswell):       >That would be "Authentication: Your unique ID: xxxxx", right?              Or is it "Cache E-Tags)" ?              As expected, when I re-ran using the Iron browser instead of Chrome and       both "Authentication" and "Cache (E-=Tags)" changed.              But I would have to think that somebody somewhere (Google?) is       diligently creating links between those IDs and people's       names/addresses/phone numbers.              Am I on the right track with that ?              Seems like even if somebody gets a new browser and uses it only over       VPN, any sites (Amazon, for instance) that the user divulges personal       information to can now create a link to that browser instance's unique       ID - regardless of whether the user is connecting over a VPN.              If so, what's the workaround?       --       Pete Cresswell              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
