Is anyone else concerned that Adafruit can automatically know every address you've ever sent even a single package to on any other website/company?

(Not that it's Adafruit doing that, but something big is going on there; they're not even an insanely huge company or government agency! So who else can get at that info now?!)

Does anyone know the name of this phenomenon or infrastructure?

@codepuppy it's your browser keeping that info, either locally or synced with whatever account it uses

@f0x ...Oh you mean form autocomplete? Pfft I know about that; no this was in a drop-down select box, presumably in the HTML source or pulled via AJAX from somewhere

@f0x Ahhhh nevermind I figured it out. Paypal is the common link!

Well now I know what it is, but that's still kind of concerning.

And still doesn't explain how my bank knew where I lived and such when I was signing up for it. But at least that's presumably limited to large institutions.
