  • Here’s the information a web server needs to deliver content to a browser:

    • The requested resource
    • An IP address
    • User credentials (sometimes)

    Everything else is a fucking security hole. There’s no good reason for servers to know what extensions you have installed, what OS you’re running, the dimensions of your browser window, where your mouse cursor is positioned, or any one of a thousand other data points that browsers freely hand over.
