A web page that tells you what your browser gave away the moment you arrived. No login, no form, no permission. Most pages do this. None of them tell you.

      While yeah, most of the stuff is “just how the web works”, it’s still true that the collection of these values can be used (and is being used) as a reliable fingerprint for your exact browser.
