Audit AutoFill

LowLevel 2Manual reviewmacos

Description

AutoFill capabilities in a Web Browser are a feature to allow a user to avoid re-typing the same user information in every form that a user encounters. Part of the modern internet consists of vendors establishing a seemingly close relationship with as many users as possible to market to them, data-mine from them and sell their data to third- party data aggregators.

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
