  "textContent": "submitted by NannerBanner to nostupidquestions\n7 points | 16 comments\n\nSo the other day someone linked to a website that highlighted how much information is just gifted to any place you visit on the web.\n\nI’m aware of some of it being intrinsic to the manner of connection. A website knowing your IP (even if that is the IP of the vpn or tor exit node you’re using) is basically essential to the function of the internet. Why **everything else** though? What fucking idiot/asshole decided to even have an api for your gpu? Why the fuck is my browser reporting on the battery status? Light/dark mode? Visibility (whether or not the tab is ‘active’, the fuck?!? My OS?!!???!?!!!?!?!?\n\nAs a side question, why is the capability built in by a browser, but the user is never given a choice about whether or not any of this is shared?",
