AliExpress is using silent WebAudio fingerprinting to track you—and it’s breaking your Bluetooth headphones. This isn’t just a privacy issue; it’s a physical hardware takeover. Users report glitchy car audio and multipoint failures, all traced back to backgrounded shopping apps. The war for your privacy has moved to your ears.
