And all in the service of vacuuming up tiny fractions of pennies in advertising revenue.

What a silly, fragile business model whose days are numbered.

It's amazing to consider how much revenue has been generated, predicated on completely unnecessary and (now) easily disabled browser features.

I have to imagine that like the cigarette manufacturers of yore, companies whose lifeblood is based on this kind of nonsense are kept up at night wondering where the money will come from when this house of cards collapses.
