I have reported a mild #security & #privacy issue in #Kanboard where, if I am not mistaken, the kanban board or task details' URL could probably be leaked to third-party websites as Kanboard does not tell the web browser to use noreferrer 😬 I'm surprised nobody noticed this in all these years: https://github.com/kanboard/kanboard/issues/5457
The #bigtech companies have masterfully muddled the definitions of advertisement and #tracking, making them indistinguishable for a typical person.

Nice! @brave for iOS just got updated to support the new "marketplace-kit" scheme. Brave only calls the scheme when trackers blocking is disabled. As we reported earlier, Apple implemented the new scheme in a way that allows tracking across websites based on the unique client_id.
Now users in the EU can use Brave to safely install alternative marketplaces. We would like to thank Brave for considering our advice about potential #tracking.
