Reminds me of a meeting I was party to with the Safari team. We worked with them on some standards stuff at an old job. They claimed to have creepy-level tracking of users back then. We were discussing how to identify users for an A/B test across millions of sites and comparing what fingerprints we could both derive to most likely end up on the same user.

If you use a closed source browser. That’s the kinda shit they do.

Are you claiming the Safari team is fingerprinting their users?
Safari isn’t closed source…
I call BS on that story
