A recent update to Chromium has introduced a new privacy concern.
Starting with version 148, the Math.tanh function is affected. This
mathematical function can now be used for fingerprinting. It allows
websites to potentially identify the underlying OS. This technique
links specific browser behavior to the system. Such fingerprinting can
compromise user anonymity online. Security researchers have
highlighted this specific vulnerability. Users should be aware of how
browser math functions behave.
