gollark: For example, send a request to `https://interweb.site/search-some-private-data?query=thing` using a form or `img` or `script` or whatever, and see how long it takes (using `onload`/`onerror` handlers and such).
gollark: The timing attacks thing: since you can send GET requests to domains you probably shouldn't be able to, and time how long they take, you can infer some data you shouldn't be able to from other domains.
gollark: It is not okay, it is bees.
gollark: Because you can access cross-domain scripts and images without explicit optin by the site they're from, guess what? TIMING ATTACKS, *and* you can check whether there's an image or not at some arbitrary URL because while CORS weirdness won't let your code read the *content* of an image you include with `<img>` unless the site it's from opts in, you can check the width/height and whether it loaded or not.
gollark: But there is more!
