Private browsing ist nicht so privat
Forscher der Stanford University haben sich das “private browsing” Feature moderner Browser angesehen und attestieren den Browser Herstellern kein gutes Zeugnis:
The researchers found that the browsers’ protections were imperfect. Browsers did not properly isolate their private sessions from non-private ones, with the result that suitably crafted sites could trace visitors between private and non-private sessions. Sites could also leave persistent indications that they had been visited, allowing visits to be detected by local users.
