New css attack

That site and What The Internet Knows About You still shows that I haven't visited anything.

I'm using Opera 10.60, the css fix, and history disabled.

As I understand it, disabling history prevents this attack, so that would explain it.

Is there a CSS fix you'd be able to employ against this, or is disabling history the only fix?

Seriously, you just need to know how to set up your browser... no addons, plugins, or VPNs to the Caymen Islands needed.

My history isn't disabled and it still can't detect what sites I visited.

Can you check if setting layout.css.visited_links_enabled to false in about:config fixes the leak in Firefox with history enabled?

That appears to block the script's detection, yes.

I love you. I wanted to go peeking inside the settings to find exactly that, but was too lazy. :wub:

Thank you both for letting me know. :)
