Do you like it when browsers share any function of your browsing history with every random website you visit to target Ads? Well, get ready, Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history theregister.com/2023/09/06/goo #privacy #security

@nixCraft How do you bypass laws that prevent websites from tracking you?

Let the browser track you and then just send the data back to the website :blobcat_think_smart:​

@nixCraft I'll add that to the long list of reasons I don't use Chrome.

@nixCraft The audacity to call it the "enhanced ad privacy", lmao.

@nixCraft

Would it kill them to slightly generalize and anonymize it? They’d probably get more click-throughs and sales. Over-specific ad serving is pointless because it’s probably something you’ve already bought or decided against buying,

So we get all the privacy violation but also the Taboola chum of gross trypophobia thumbnails and completely false, borderline defamatory celeb gossip often featuring the wrong person in the photo. Not relevant to my interests, guys!

@nixCraft That's why I use Brave and LibreWolf.

@nixCraft @briankrebs this is what happens when. One browser gets dominant market share

@nixCraft Not surprising, and I expect most browsers do (or will do) the same. But I don't use Chrome since Google's digital gangster attack on Canadian sovereignty and won't use them until they stop the extortion. Ditto with Meta (FB and Threads).

@nixCraft @CdnCurmudgeon I don't use chrome or google services at all just because google are crooks and robbers.
