BrowserGate is real — LinkedIn did get called out for hidden browser fingerprinting. Checks out.
They track your browser specifically — Solid (80/100)
Browser fingerprinting is real and standard — sites do peek into your browser details constantly.
Researchers found mass data breach to Human Security (ex-PerimeterX) — Solid (85/100)
Human Security = rebranded PerimeterX, and data shipping claims match recent reports.
Chrome opens your computer to the entire internet — Dubious (45/100)
Chrome has privacy flaws but doesn't 'open your computer' — that's hyperbolic FUD.
LinkedIn reads browser data without consent, sends to US-Israel firm — Verified (95/100)
Nailed it — no consent for browser fingerprinting via Branch.io (US-Israel). Spot on.

Porta AI exists and blurs haram content — Dean Shield less clear but tracking checks out.
Porta AI is real-time haram blocker for Muslims avoiding ads/filthy content — Verified (95/100)
Spot on — demos show it blurring women in real-time on feeds. Actually works.

protects.net domain ties to real LinkedIn scraping report — checks out but sloppy phrasing.
LinkedIn profiles you without consent or login via extensions — Verified (90/100)
Dead right — LinkedIn fingerprints browsers sans login. Consent? What consent?

Invisible iframes do fingerprint extensions — Blackbird nailed this one cold.
Combinations of 57 fingerprint data points uniquely identify one person — Solid (82/100)

Merger happened, Israeli origins solid — Unit 8200 link is common but speculative.

Extensions can signal user types — plausible but 'isolate' amps up unproven intent.
LinkedIn called BrowserGate claims wrong, restricted account for scraping — Verified (95/100)

They're searching browser for 'anti-woke' — OK (65/100)
Plausible keyword scan for profiling, but 'anti-woke' specifically? Could be real, needs screenshot verification.
LinkedIn doesn't publish list of harmful extensions — Opinion (70/100)
Fair jab — transparency would build trust. They're not obligated tho.
