With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

let me read you a quote from that blog post:

You should be aware that macOS might transmit some opaque information about the developer certificate of the apps you run. This information is sent out in clear text on your network.

It CONFIRMS everything I said! the only thing it disputes is that its not the "application hash", but the "apps certificate id" which is a meaningless distinction because it actually makes it easier to figure out which apps they're running.

the only baseless accusation here was when you said I was bullshitting because you couldn't find it on google on 2 seconds 🤦
