So I'm as hardened as I think I can get on Firefox.
My real suspicion is that its tracking cursor positions. I've been trying to figure out an experimental design I could use to confirm this.
It could be possible, but what makes you suspect they're tracking cursor positions?
Because its the only interaction I can think of that they might have access to. And I know some websites do this. I'm opening them in private windows because I specifically don't want them to get into my feed, and the only interaction I'm having is to move my cursor over them and then to right click.
It turns out they can and likely do track that sort of thing. Still, I highly doubt that's the only information they have access to.
