Safari 15 has a bug that could leak your browsing history

FingerprintJS, an anti-website fraud tool company, published a message on its website a few days ago, referring to a vulnerability in the Safari browser launched by Apple. Websites have the opportunity to obtain the names of other websites that some users are browsing, and even leak personal data such as user IDs. The problem stems from the IndexedDB API used in Safari 15. Generally, browsers will provide an independent IndexedDB database for each website, allowing websites to store data on the computer. The stored information is generally only used by this website and cannot be detected and accessed by other websites.

As another factor, most of the pages that currently use “.org” as part of their URLs are non-profit groups. The suitability of handing over “.org” to a private company is also a focus. Now, non-profit groups have initiated joint signings online, hoping to withdraw the relevant transactions.
