#Tracking code that Meta and #Russia - based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate #Internet protocols, causing #Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. #Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent #mobile #app user identities.

I am still waiting for my application for caretaker's social support accepted. I take full-time care of my wife (wheelchair, cerebral palsy) and I hope that - after several appeals and re-appeals (due to unfriendly legislation and even less friendly praxis) - I will get it approved. ETA: 3-6 months.

Meanwhile, I have no income, cannot even work (for money) remotely, as the authorities routinely use odd jobs as an argument (you can work, you do not need social support) to reject such applications.

So, I kindly ask you to support me with some crypto, so I can survive until - hopefully - happy ending.

Here is the regular link to AnonPay service. And here is the Onion link as well.

Bumps, boosts and shares will be appreciated.
