Hi Luukjr and bob3160,
I am not saying all is doom and gloom. Just see what Brendan Eich did to give his Brave browser extended protection against fingerprinting. Read:
https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/wiki/Fingerprinting-Protection-ModeBrendan Eich, the man and developer, who gave us JavaScript during the previous century, wrought in just 10 days.
A nice legacy, but also a royal way in for miscreants, and what an abuse came unto us later, and so we needed the unique solution produced by Giorgio Maone with his script blocker, No Script.
Now every power user and those, that know how to toggle it, will use uMatrix for script blocking and uBlock Origin as an adblocker of choice.
With website security and best policy implementation, very much so with PHP-driven CMS like Word Press, Magento etc. we still have a very long way to go to make it basically more secure. We cannot blame amateurs using WYSIWYG software to build their insecure websites (insecure libraries, using even left code that will never be patched or updated, etc. etc.).
Very bad, seen in this light, is the fact that those that have relative knowledge do not count in the game, and those that lack this fundamental security knowledge, like CEO's and manager take all the important decisions. They'd rather go for a "licked looking" website than a secure one.
So security often is a last resort issue, then when bad things are bound to happen (the proverbial manure hitting the propellors),
there is a bill to be paid in the end. The stakeholders are not interested, it is not their world.
So now we come to speak of the grave dangers formed by extended monopolistic global mono-cultures like Google's with browsers (all browser engines are now Google driven). Google will call the shots, also where protocol are made up and will curve the bends to what is good for their core business, and we all know what that is. That is not always good for security and privacy, folks. No. it is not.
But we will have to give this situation we find ourselves in attention and consider solutions, else there will not be much left we can do about the whole situation and it will be out of our hands soon.
