What addon is that? I'm curious to see if other websites are doing that to me now.

EDIT: my bad, I assumed the earlier hn link there was about the discussion on fingerprinting with them.

Right now there is 'only' a chrome extension that I know of that just scans for zero-length-characters: https://github.com/chpmrc/zero-width-chrome-extension

For Firefox there is this extension that does search and replace based on regex (so you need to create the rule by yourself). https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/foxreplace/?src=...

Apply an autoload rule with these settings:

  Name: zero length replacement
  HTML: Output only
  URL: <entering no url matches all sites>
  Replace: (\uFEFF|\u200B|\u200C)
  Type: Regular expression
  With: <span style="background-color:#F00 !important">&#x1f633;</span>
