MODERATORS
Google said it does not consider browser fingerprinting to be a security vulnerability.
Apple described the attack as “currently out of scope,” with possible mitigations in the future.
Mozilla acknowledged the findings but has not implemented any fix.
In other words, the three companies that ship some of the world’s most-used browsers have collectively said “ok, not my concern”.
Fingerprinting is treated as a known cost of doing business on the modern web, and a side channel that leaks tab and application data through a storage API is, apparently, not a fire worth putting out.
