Re: HTTPS

said by factchecker :

Phorm uses an algorithm that scans webpages as they are loaded and finds "key words" and uses them to customize the ads for the user. The Register had a good summary of how Phorm works a few days ago...

Cripes. I never thought of backtracking to scan referring url. Bastards. No way for a client to detect presence of such a server tool either. Maybe some kind Mozilla user - who doesn't work for a data mining company - has created a redirect plugin. Time to locate some form of local referrer washer.

Thanks for the Register link. Evil for server owners to install such a tool.
