Had a feeling that this entire post was just privacy “purists” taking something a bit too far. I’m not confident that knowing the size of your browser window is enough to definitively ruin your life.

Without commenting on its veracity, here is the essential claim quoted from the post:
> DuckDuckGo is using the Canvas DOMRect API on their search engine. Canvas is used to make unique geometry measurements on target browsers, and DOMRect API uses rectangles. This can be verified with the CanvasBlocker Firefox add-on by Korbinian Kapsner. DDG has recently been redirecting some website navigations to cute pictures with remarks about their privacy promises. The organization is now seeking to expand their Internet presence. DDG are without question data brokers, and commercial websites that make promises like DDG does will not survive for long if they actually keep them.

One comment on that thread does call into question some of DDG’s previous actions and suggests that we might not be able to trust them regardless: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/ad4h0u/comment/edd...
