does use different browser "profiles" while never signing into other sites help with this?

Yes, if you aren't signed in to other accounts most of these click jacking scenarios would need to convince you to sign in which would be pretty obvious.

how could someone run these tests at home? does it require expensive equipment?

I'm not aware of cheaper assays that may have been developed. So, yeah, it'd likely require buying a GC-MS (>$50,000), plus a gas source, whatever MS software, and some training.

Alternatively, for ~$50 there are many core facilities at universities and elsewhere that'll happily run whatever sample you send them and email you back the results.

i would guess they would do whatever the minimum is to stay "legal" and maximize profit... er i mean, "connecting people"

why is that?

they probably have tested it extensively, but sometimes people do mess up http://www.cbc.ca/radio/thisisthat/1.3773054

The site you linked to is satire. It is not a thing that actually happened.

good catch, thanks!

what helped me: read more(both fiction and non-fiction) think of every interaction in your life in the other side's perspective to develop emphathy

most local news websites are loaded with 30+ scripts running in the background

Local news are a cesspool in my country. Ads all over, floating layers that slide in when you scroll, covering the main article, requests for automated browser notifications, and the text itself is just 10% of the page and quite hard to find sometimes. It can be a whole page of ads with just one phrase of actual content.

Sometimes the whole thing is a bait and switch - things like "Incredible, find out what happened to this starlet with amazing butt".... after 5-6 phrases that don't say anything about it we find out "... she's crying because her grandma died" (real story). Fucking bait and switch gutter news. But Adblock can't solve that.

I don't think a laptop can be normally used to browse these news sites without Adblock, and sometimes at all.

basically it's "don't worry, people will review the image, but they're 'specially trained' "

when will people stop using facebook?
