    I don't understand why this stuff still hasn't been regulated? I mean this isn't anything new if I'm correct. These trackers should be forbidden.

    Good point, but they also tried to regulate third partyy cookies, which is a complete disaster of course. But these type of scripts should be forbidden. The stuff that you type on websites should not automatically be recorded by sneaky websites, until you hit the send button. Now that I think of it, shouldn't browser developers be able to limit this ability?

    That's the only suggestion that I think would work at all. You can't control what anyone else does.

    Holy crap, this type of tracking is totally unacceptable, why is nobody looking into this stuff? Meta/Facebook trackers are even worse than thought! Also, this subject deserves its own topic.
