As far as I understand the only way that it can work without without js is either by using @supports or similar feature/media queries (which would be the same for all users on the same hardware and browser) or by requiring user interaction (like a :hover state or clicking a link).

You said:

So how does that work considering what I said above?

Why would I want to give out that part completely? Upcoming spec change has two important thing required that will allow it to work without JS or user interaction with the page. Obviously I'm not going to give it away before the spec is implemented and once it gains enough usage on the web that going back is impossible.

So basically you have no proof, no discernible connections to anything you are talking about (no real user/comment history) and are posting pretty outrageous claims about tracking.

Why would I believe you over all the public research available? If you really were working on this why would you be stupid enough to post about it here?

CSS provides basically no way to hide you’re doing this. I don’t believe this is real.
