<p> In this talk, Blase will discuss our group's recent and ongoing efforts in user-centered privacy on the web. He will focus on our work related to third-party online tracking. He will first discuss two online user studies (CHI 2018) involving a total of 543 participants. They evaluated how the particular types of inferences ad networks can make about users, as well as their process for doing so, impacted participants' comfort with targeting based on these inferences and their perceptions of its usefulness.</p> | |||
<p>Blase will then discuss our ongoing work designing a new style of privacy-protective browser extension that aims to help users better understand third-party tracking. The extension visualizes examples of long-term, longitudinal information that third-party trackers could have inferred from the user's browsing. He will discuss our recent longitudinal field study in which 425 participants used one of six variants of our extension for a week. He will also briefly discuss our prior work (WWW 2018) evaluating how users' misconceptions about what private browsing mode does are impacted by browsers' disclosures about this mode. In a 460-participant online study, the team found that browsers' disclosures fail to correct the majority of the misconceptions we tested; results varied across browsers.</p> | |||
<p>Through the talk, Blase hopes to connect with interested Mozilla researchers, designers, and engineers for potential collaborations and feedback regarding our future work in these directions. </p></BLOCKQUOTE> | |||
