      It’s not. They’re literally hacking your device to spy on you by reading EM interference and shit. It should be illegal.

    Well now I don’t seem so crazy for having a minimum of 100 tabs open at any one time.

    Surely past a certain point it just becomes white noise

      The bad news is that the article says

      One of the best ways to prevent FROST attacks is to close tabs as soon as they’re no longer needed

      Leaving the tabs open just gives them more opportunities to track you.
