Responsible disclosure and commercial fingerprinting aren't contradictory.

Do you seriously not see the contradiction? I consider all methods that enable fingerprinting, as vulnerabilities that browsers should fix, if we did that it would destroy their business. On top of that a company like that shouldn't be allowed to exist in the first place as a legal entity and it very likely is already operating in a legal grey area in a lot of places. It's the difference between a security company that provides IDS signatures as a service that does responsible disclosure vs. a malware company that offers 0click exploits. Would you praise the NSO group if they did responsible disclosure?

Fucking HN sheep

If you take their claim that they don’t use vulnerabilities in their products as true, then I don’t see a contradiction. If it isn’t true, then obviously there is a contradiction.

But your considering of all methods that enable fingerprinting as vulnerabilities is your own opinion. There are definitely measurable signals that are based on a user’s behavior, rather than data exposed by the browser itself.

It's a little bit disingenuous to call intentional wont-fix features "vulnerabilities".
