Great to see the California Opt Me Out Act (AB566) signed into law, ensuring browsers offer users an easy way to tell websites not to sell or share their personal info. FYI: Our browser and extension have been sending this signal by default since 2021. https://t.co/A87ZDSJrGK

Facebook/Instagram apps would silently listen on those ports, copy identifiers in real time, and link them to the user logged into the app, thereby allowing them to spy on your browsing habits, unchecked.

Meta was basically misusing protocols by having it's tracking scripts (embedded on a huge percentage of websites) blast out information about Chrome/other affected browser users' browsing history, along with unique identifiers to local ports on Android.

Meta was just caught red-handed using a new tracking technique on Android to covertly spy on people's browsing history, even when in Incognito mode. DuckDuckGo browser users were not affected, since we block Facebook/Meta trackers to start with. https://t.co/uEbG8YHMzE

Incognito mode isn't going to protect you from this one.
