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

    It’s not giving good results because this is bullshit.

    Lol no apple pays google to disappear this info and make it very hard to find. It also happened like 4-5 years ago, and was not covered by any major news org, so it would be hard to find anyway.
    It was for macos not IOS and everyone found out about this feature when apple server went down and nobody could start apps for a bit.

    Im having a hard time finding any info about it either, but I’ll keep looking.

    EDIT: I believe the feature was called “gatekeeper”
    EDIT2: it think this is it: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/gp52pe/apple_is_tracking_hashes_of_all_executables/ https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/jt2zrh/psa_if_your_mac_suddenly_just_got_very_slow_and/
    EDIT3: found it!! heres louis rossman explaining everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS2lJNQn3NA

        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 🤦
