Your account has been disabled.
No special options, no addons. Just checked latest Chrome, passed all three tests too.

Start Panicking!
If you do this test IP check by JonDoFox, your browser will reveal many information, but latest one Browser history says Protected and on mouseover states "Modern browsers should not be affected by this attack. If you still have an old browser, please update it as soon as posible."
Explanation: "Your browser either does not store any website history or it does not mark visited web sites. In both cases you are protected."
I have history entries from year ago so I guess this leak is fixed on newest browser and What.CD or other trackers should not be able to detect that you are running SB-I tab next to theirs.
If you are paranoid you could just block sb-innovation.de with HistoryBlock addon for FF. Every time after page loads it will remove it from history. There will not be sb-innovation.de entries in history or any other domains you block.
I hope you're right and those tests are working fine but you should take into account that what.cd's mods are not humans! They are some machines from the future sent back in time to protect their freaking site where only the right ones shall exist. They love w.cd more than their own mothers.
OK, you made me paranoid =)
I added sb-innovation.de domain to HistoryBlock =)
And I turned off accept third-party cookies so one domain can not access cookies from other.
If they figure me out I will let you know =)

That's not how it works. Sites can never "read" cookies from outside their domains.
1. I visit example1.com with 3rd party cookies enabled, and an image from adserver.com is loaded. They set a cookie, and of course my browser stores it.
2. I visit example2.net which has another image from adserver.com. The cookie that was set before is sent to them. Now they know I'm the same visitor as before, and can build a profile of my visits on any site they serve ads on, but they can't read my cookies in any of them - only their own.
With third-party cookies disabled, the cookie from adserver.com is never set in step 1, and of course they can't read it in step 2 either. Which still makes it a great idea, by all means.

Hello,
I remembered browsing this forum and saw a post that some trackers could find out if you're using this forum based on your browsing history and you will be instantly banned, is that true? If yes, what trackers implement that?
It is/was true.
I'm not sure about all browsers, but Firefox fixed the issue.

This should be relevant : http://www.sb-innovation.de/showthre...threadid=13725
I understand so far what does!
Show respect to all people, but grovel to none
I hear whispers setting the "Visited Links State" value to 0 in Opera fixes the leak, and with whispers I mean I verified it myself.
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
this is fixed on actual browsers? chrome, firefox? or still i should use another browsers for visit the forum
it's already fixed. No need to use different browsers.
Yes, this is already fixed in all major browsers (see gu5ter's posts at the top of this page), so this thread is another monument.
Special thanks go to KalPenn for being the first to share information about this exploit, and shoulder for taking the initiative to research it thoroughly and share solutions. Back in 2009 I had portable versions of Internet Explorer 7 and Safari I used just for trackers
