Websites can detect installed Chrome Extensions and track users with them

Security-focused web developer z0ccc has created a web application that shows how other websites track users' Internet activity via their installed Chrome extensions.

"Extension Fingerprints" detects which Chrome extensions a user has installed and generates a unique tracking hash.

I'm shocked

Said no one after installing Chrome Extensions etc which can track your activities.

I've said it before...

You should sandbox your internet life in 2 or more different browsers. Don't try and make one browser safe, use multiple ones. Fragmentize your data.

Ignore the "websites" threat they try to get you to focus on, you should only focus on 2 evils...facebook and google.
