Visualising third-party website trackers

[princiya]

Hi, I would like to propose a talk.

Title:

Visualising third-party website trackers

Abstract:

In this talk we shall look into the lessons learned from migrating a legacy privacy add-on using ES6 from SVG to Canvas, synchronous to asynchronous data capture & storage, with performance being the key factor. Canvas comes with its own challenges and we shall look into practical examples of how we tackled them. We shall also look into the concepts behind JavaScript physical simulations in order to understand the graph networks & hierarchies and the web-worker based approach for better graph performance. Lastly, let's see how all of this can be converted to an immersive virtual reality experience using A-Frame!

This is also an attempt to gain insights into web tracking and spark curiosity into the world of data privacy 😊

Hey there,

sorry for the delay, the wife and me, we played a bit of flu-ping pong and have been sick for some weeks :/ Anyhow, after voting on all submissions, your talk didn't quite make it. Please note: this is not because the talk is bad, quite the opposite: Very interesting and also very important. But we only have so many slots and this being an evening event, we can't add more slots.

There will be a lightning talk section, so if you want, you totally can give that in a 5 minute form if you like :) Also you're more than welcome to attend the event!

Sorry again for the delay and I wish you a great day :)

@rmehner thank you for the feedback. I am up for the lightning talk :) Count me in 👍 🎉

Hope you are recovering from the flu 😊

@rmehner I haven't heard back from you. Fitting this one into 5 mins seems a bit tough, so I would like to propose to talk about this at an upcoming BerlinJS event 😊

Hope you and your family has recovered by now, and I shall reach out to you post JSConfEU. 👍

@princiya oh sorry, total misunderstanding I guess. I meant: In the voting for the special event, your talk didn't quite make it under the top 4 and we only have 4 slots, that's why I've asked you if it would be possible for you to do it as 5 minute lightning talk. However a full talk at a regular BerlinJS sounds amazing. I put you onto our waitlist and we'll get back to you once we plan the events. Any preferred months?

And thanks, we're doing fine again :)
