An interactive web experiment demonstrates how much personal data browsers automatically disclose through standard JavaScript APIs, including location, device specs, and browsing preferences. The project highlights privacy concerns in modern web design by showing users exactly what information websites can access without explicit permission. It serves as both an educational tool and a commentary on digital privacy.
Background
Modern websites routinely collect extensive user data through standard browser APIs, often without explicit user awareness. This has led to growing concerns about online privacy and the ethics of data collection practices.
