The article is an interesting summary, but in my opinion doesn’t add much value over “there’s a forum that does this”. So you might want to check it out directly.
Thanks. Honestly just the headline and the link to the subreddit is all we needed. Dedicating an entire article around a subreddit seems like overkill.
Pretty interesting! Although a bit easier than one might expect.
For example, the author notes that they figured out the author owns a dog and is lactose-intolerant. Seems impressive, but the author has dog treats and Lactaid milk in their fridge - a bit of a giveaway!
Yes, thanks to a modern web browser api called `history.pushState` web sites can modify your history [0]. Useful for single page apps where you want the back button to revert the page to previous states as if they were previous 'pages', abused by web publications the world over to insert a phantom subscription nag page to their website.
But if pushState didn't exist they could probably just hit that nag-page first and then load the desired page, hopefully fast enough for you not to notice.
this won't work with non Americans, good luck identifying local European products with different diet and home cooking
they would never guess i have children because there is zero children targeted products in my fridge and only products for children there are yogurts, fruit and vegetables
