(To be clear, I don't think the "core-count --> value for targeted marketing" connection you're mentioning here is actually a concern that anyone has brought up in this forum. The fingerprinting entropy argument doesn't have much to do with that -- it's rather a concern about introducing features that make it easier for web content to do Panopticlick-style persistent tracking / de-anonymization based on a user's constellation of persistent web-exposed system configuration options.) _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
