This repo was created 4 years ago. Questions:
- Why does it pop up now?
- What makes us think that this has been ignored by privacy focused implementations like Brave or Safari in Lockdown Mode?
Good point about the age of the repo. I found out about it because Alex Lewin mentioned it. I'm not sure what brought it across his radar.
Seems like consensus here is that it requires so many redirects that it's not particularly practical.

Is that a browser security researcher?

To me it's more that this is easy to fix within a few days, let alone 4 years. I can go test it out though... but I fear I'd waste my time.

It's probably a waste of time.
Alex Lewin is a lightning developer, who I believe works on fedi.
