Every second, the browser observes what you are doing in an open window. No, these are not site addresses, but behavioral information that accumulates in the background. The life hacker will tell you where you can view this data.
You leave the first digital footprint after you click on the browser icon: the session began at such and such a time from such and such a point on the planet. This is obvious and does not surprise anyone. It's much more interesting if you started private mode and after a couple of minutes left the mouse alone. And such information is also collected about you. The experimental page will confirm this.
Follow the link, and you will see a green button in the center of the screen, past which a stream of incomprehensible information runs. In fact, this is the first information about your browser activity.
For example, they will tell you about cursor movements up to distance in pixels, idle times, random clicks, mouse hover over objects, window resizing, computer settings, operating system, and so on. It makes no sense to provide a complete list: the data is updated as you continue to use the browser.
Pay attention to the counter in the upper right corner. The project is made in the style of a game: the more actions, the more percent drips. It is difficult to say what they will be rewarded with when they reach 100%, because it is almost impossible to reel them. Go to achievements to see for yourself.
So, for the sake of a hundred, you will have to spend long hours inactive or go to the site at a certain time with Internet Explorer. And these are only known targets. I managed to get to 65%. Who is bigger?:) By the way, progress is being saved, so you can return to the competition at any time convenient for you.
If you go over the Clickclickclick statistics, it becomes clear that the browser knows us from a perspective that we don't even think about. Probably, there is nothing terrible in the fact that the program remembers at what speed we click the mouse, in what order we launch our favorite sites and where we leave the cursor while we read. On the other hand, this information will give away any person with giblets, even if he is careful: behavior and habits are very difficult to control. Extensions for safe surfing will help curb the curiosity of Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
