ID Attribute
October 1, 2020
The id attribute is widely used to identify HTML elements. Unfortunately, cross-origin websites can determine whether a given id is set anywhere on a page by leveraging the focus event and URL fragments. If https://example.com/foo#bar is loaded, the browser attempts to scroll to the element with id="bar". This can be detected cross-origin by loading https://example.com/foo#bar in an iframe; if there is an element with id="bar", the focus event fires. The blur event can also be used for the same purpose 1.
