browsergate.eu – Microsoft And LinkedIn Are Illegally Searching Your Computer
Microsoft betreibt eine der größten organisierten E-Spionageaktionen der modernen Zeit: https://browsergate.eu
Executive Summary: https://browsergate.eu/executive-summary/
„LinkedIn runs a silent browser scan on every Chrome user who visits the site. 6,222 extensions. ~405 million users affected. No consent, no disclosure, no mention in their privacy policy.
The scan identifies your sales tools, VPN, ad blocker, job search extensions, and extensions tied to religion, politics, and disability.
Fun fact: LinkedIn’s JavaScript bundle contains a hardcoded list of 6,222 Chrome extension IDs, each paired with a specific internal file path that LinkedIn engineers mapped manually.
They probe your browser using three escalating detection methods. If one fails, they try the next.“
It’s not subtle. It’s in the source code. Anyone can verify it.
