Answers in Genesis website hijacks web history!

This was originally reported by the BBC as a story on porn sites that track users by accessing their browser history (via a browser bug). It is a massive invasion of privacy.

However, reading the actual paper, I found that the website Answers in Genesis is listed as one of the non-porn sites that hijack a user's browser history.

Epic fail! XD
