Sounds like they copy pasted my demo into production: https://robinlinus.github.io/socialmedia-leak/

Funny enough, the only thing that got wrong was it saying I wasn't logged into HN.

[captaincrowbar]

Same for me. Maybe something changed about HN since the demo was written?

[Capira]

they blacklisted /identicon.ico as goto value in their redirect url. It still works with /y18.gif though.

For me it shows I'm logged into HN, but shows I'm 'not logged in' many of other things that I'm actually logged in to, like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and a few others.

Same here. I use uBlock Origin with all of the tracking filters enabled, plus Privacy Badger.

[piyush_soni]

Yup. uBlock Origin + 'Blur', another privacy add-on.

Nice, nothing came up for me! This is the first time I've seen the positive impact of disabling third party cookies.

[Turing_Machine]

Nice work.

I already had Privacy Badger and had disabled third-party cookies, but it's good to have confirmation that it's working. I'm showing up as not logged into anything, even though I am, in fact, logged into six of those services (including HN, obviously).

This page suggest that I am logged into "VK", which apparently is the Russian-equivalent of Facebook, but I never heard of it before this. Any reason why that is?

[sn9]

Weird. It thinks I'm logged in to Facebook and Flickr, which I'm definitely not (I checked).

I am logged in to HN and it didn't catch that.

So disabling 3rd-party cookies is enough to prevent this?
