“Meta devised an ingenious system (“localhost tracking”) that bypassed Android’s sandbox protections to identify you while browsing on your mobile phone — even if you used a VPN, the browser’s incognito mode, and refused or deleted cookies in every session.”
It’s an exploit in android, yes. But it’s meta who found it and instead of responsibly reporting it they took advantage. A parasitic move from a company that shouldn’t exist.
No, sorry. Not the operating system. At least not that of the phone. The other system.
