  • Browser Versions Carry 10.5 Bits of Identifying Information on Average [Forthcoming Blog Post]
    Browser versions carry 10.5 bits of identifying information on average [forthcoming blog post] Technical Analysis by Peter Eckersley This is part 3 of a series of posts on user tracking on the modern web. You can also read part 1 and part 2. Whenever you visit a web page, your browser sends a "User Agent" header to the website saying what precise operating system and browser you are using. We recently ran an experiment to see to what extent this information could be used to track people (for instance, if someone deletes their browser cookies, would the User Agent, alone or in combination with some other detail, be enough to re-create their old cookie?). Our experiment to date has shown that the browser User Agent string usually carries 5-15 bits of identifying information (about 10.5 bits on average). That means that on average, only one person in about 1,500 (210.5) will have the same User Agent as you. On its own, that isn't enough to recreate cookies and track people perfectly, but in combination with another detail like an IP address, geolocation to a particular ZIP code, or having an uncommon browser plugin installed, the User Agent string becomes a real privacy problem. User Agents: An Example of Browser Characteristics Doubling As Tracking Tools When we analyse the privacy of web users, we usually focus on user accounts, cookies, and IP addresses, because those are the usual means by which a request to a web server can be associated with other requests and/or linked back to an individual human being, computer, or local network.

  • Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

  • Internal Message
    Earlier today, Mozilla Corporation CEO and Mozilla Foundation Chairwoman Mitchell Baker sent the following message to Mozilla employees. We are making significant changes at Mozilla Corporation today. Pre-COVID, our plan for 2020 was a year of change: building a better internet by accelerating product value in Firefox, increasing innovation, and adjusting our finances to ensure financial stability over the long term. We started with immediate cost-saving measures such as pausing our hiring, reducing our wellness stipend and cancelling our All-Hands. But COVID-19 has accelerated the need and magnified the depth for these changes. Our pre-COVID plan is no longer workable. We have talked about the need for change — including the likelihood of layoffs — since the spring. Today these changes become real. We are also restructuring to put a crisper focus on new product development and go to market activities. In the long run, I am confident that the new organizational structure will serve our product and market impact goals well, but we will talk in detail about this in a bit. But, before that is the painful part. Yes — we need to reduce the size of our workforce. This is hard to internalize and I desperately wish there was some other way to set Mozilla up for success in building a better internet. I desperately wish that all those who choose Mozilla as an employer could stay as long as interest and skills connect. Unfortunately, we can’t make that happen today. We are reducing the size of the MoCo workforce by approximately 250 roles, including closing our current operations in Taipei, Taiwan.

  • The Need for Speed of AI Applications: Performance Comparison Of
    The Need for Speed The Need for Speed of AI Applications Performance Comparison of Native vs. Browser-based Algorithm Implementations Bernd Malle1,2 [email protected] Nicola Giuliani1 [email protected] Peter Kieseberg1,2,3 [email protected] Andreas Holzinger1 [email protected] 1 Holzinger Group HCI-KDD, Institute for Medical Informatics, Statistics & Documentation, Medical University Graz, Austria 2 SBA Research, Vienna, Austria 3 University of Applied Sciences St.P¨olten,Austria Abstract AI applications pose increasing demands on performance, so it is not surprising that the era of client-side distributed software is becoming important. On top of many AI appli- cations already using mobile hardware, and even browsers for computationally demanding AI applications, we are already witnessing the emergence of client-side (federated) machine learning algorithms, driven by the interests of large corporations and startups alike. Apart from mathematical and algorithmic concerns, this trend especially demands new levels of computational efficiency from client environments. Consequently, this paper deals with the question of state-of-the-art performance by presenting a comparison study between native code and different browser-based implementations: JavaScript, ASM.js as well as WebAssembly on a representative mix of algorithms. Our results show that current efforts in runtime optimization push the boundaries well towards (and even beyond) native binary performance. We analyze the results obtained and speculate on the reasons behind some surprises, rounding the paper off by outlining future possibilities as well as some of our own research efforts. Keywords | Federated machine learning, Client side computing, distributed com- puting, In-browser computing, JavaScript Virtual Machine (JSVM), VM execution cycle, VM optimizations, parallelization, SIMD, WebWorkers, ASM.js, Web Assembly, GPGPU arXiv:1802.03707v1 [cs.AI] 11 Feb 2018 1.
