Jasmine is a delightful fragrance, but unfortunately it makes plants feel uncomfortable.
Jasmonates are a class of chemicals which contribute to the scent of jasmine. They're also commonly pheromones which plants use to warn each other of danger, particularly when herbivores are around. Plants detect these molecules and start putting up defences.
(Jasmonates also act as plant hormones which help regulate growth, reproductive development, and photosynthesis)
I was surprised that NYTimes still manages to detect Chrome Incognito mode (I thought Chrome had fixed that bug), so I dug in. How do they do it? It's actually pretty clever:
- Firefox: indexedDB throws an error in private browsing
- Safari: localStorage is disabled
- Edge/IE: indexedDB is null
- Chrome: estimate the available storage quota, if it's lower than ~125MB, then it's Incognito
