    “We know your IP address”. No kidding, that’s how IPv4 works, even if the browser wasn’t leaking offering it.

      The point is not that they know your IP, but that even your IP already gives away information. That’s why they start with the information, rather than the IP being the source.

      This is not intended to be for people who understand how this works.

      And as someone else said, probably vibe coded.

        The public IP is irrelevant, only shows the IP of the server used by your ISP, which can be at the other side of the country. It can maybe identify the ISP, but not the user, less if a dynamic changing IP is used. The public IP is always leaked if you don’t use a VPN or the TOR network.

        I understand how all of it works. Whether it’s vibe coded or not it, it showed me stuff that I didn’t think about like arbitrary web pages can know my phone tilt, battery level??

        The opsec implications are severe.

          Oh yeah, it’s insane. The only way to truly protect your identity on the internet is by not using the internet. Second best would be tor, I suppose
