Title: Researchers demonstrate GPU tracking method that could impact online privacy
Post by: Redaktion on February 01, 2022, 20:02:39
GPU fingerprinting is facilitated through websites relying on the WebGL 2.0 rendering API. This technique is currently 67% faster than any other tracking methods, but could become even faster with newer API versions. WebGL developer Khronos is looking to mitigate this type of vulnerability with a future update, while web browser developers can deactivate the API by default.
