BrowserGate (Fairlinked) alleges LinkedIn embeds JavaScript that actively probes installed Chrome extensions via chrome-extension:// fetches and passively scans the DOM, while collecting a 48-field device/browser fingerprint (APFC/DNA). Encrypted payloads are sent to LinkedIn endpoints and third parties (including HUMAN Security and merchantpool), injected into API headers for session-wide tracking, and designed to evade detection; the report details technical architecture, browser-specific mitigations, and severe privacy/regulatory implications.
