Big online journals in terms of tracking are the worst. At the moment every big online journal is worse than any overpriced boutique shop that uses all kinds of filthy upselling techniques (fake discounts, spam, bait and switch, shaming etc) including tracking. They even register and submit mouse events of hovering it over some element, they appear to submit time duration of how long a part of a page was within your viewport. If you don't use any preventive measures, they will keep sending telemetry regularly as long as the page is open. The inadequate amounts of tracking scripts increase traffic by much and noticeably increase CPU consumption. Even without any throughout investigation, if you use some local extension that displays the amount of blocked scripts / DOM elements / requests, you will notice that online journals are always further ahead than any other website. Thus, the article is written only for the purpose of profiteering on the current increased concerns of online tracking. It doesn't try to resolve the issue even a little. |
