Total LinkedIn death, I suppose. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors LinkedIn is injecting 2.7 megabytes of JavaScript with every page load. That's egregious on its own. That it is using that JS to look for specific software on the computer of anyone who visits one of their pages is just the topper. If you don't already use Pi-Hole, uBlock, or something similar already you really should. https://browsergate.eu/ https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-1073-notes.pdf
