@polychrome yeah, AFAIK autofilling stops it and adblocking will prevent those scripts from being loaded too.

@tqft I think that's a different issue to the one in my link, but I saw that going around on the Twitter and it's pretty fraked too. 2018 is off to such a good start, security-wise 🙄
@judges119 yeah a different issue, but didn't know if anyone here had seen it. I obviously don't follow the people who had.
@judges119 Article says there's no obvious way to stop this, but I'm thinking that not autofilling an invisible textfield element would be a good first step :p (next they'll just flash a DIV and kill it right after, but you know. Baby steps.)
