Analysis Summary
The website de Icaza linked to demonstrates that browsers automatically transmit data to web servers the moment you arrive — things like your device type, browser version, IP address, and referrer. The post's core claim is accurate: most websites do collect this data immediately, and most don't tell users about it transparently. What's worth knowing: this data collection happens even without cookies or JavaScript tracking, through basic HTTP headers alone — which is why privacy-focused browsers like Tor and Brave exist.
Claims Analysis (3)
“You opened this page. It already knows the following.”
Web pages do collect browser/device data immediately on load via HTTP headers, device APIs, and tracking scripts. The linked tool demonstrates this practice.
“Most pages do this.”
Vast majority of websites collect some data on page load (IP, user agent, referrer). Not literally all, but the practice is ubiquitous and well-documented.
“None of them tell you.”
Most sites do not transparently display what data they've collected at the moment of page load. Some privacy-focused sites do disclose this, making 'none' slightly overstated.
