"Enhanced Ad Privacy." That's the technology that, unless switched off, allows websites to target the user with adverts tuned to their online activities

That's some Orwellian shit right there.

every day I'm glad I switched to firefox

Why not just use Firefox (while you still can ...)

This was overwhelming rejected by everyone, including Microsoft, Mozilla, Safari, and others. It's universally disliked, and Google knows this, but they intentionally know they're abusing their monopoly to push anti-consumer bullshit.

"don't be evil" days have been over since forever ago.

2056

• Plug DNA access into pc

• Google sync my brain chip with my browser page

• Start searching new brain plague of 2043

• Google show ad pop-up in my eyes, try to close them, but the ads are projected on the optic nerve.

• New ideia

• scan anti-ad chip that my friend gave me

• It works, I'm free

• anyway, try to order food

• Error the system is not autenticated please install chrome chiplinx 3.8 to continue.

• Receive fine of half my salary, new policy under anti-piracy order

That's fine. I'll continue to use Firefox.

It's crazy to think that this level of intrusion is considered fair game. The way these behaviors are normalized is completely dystopian.

Firefox

So glad I moved to Firefox, fu Google

I assumed this was happening for years

I think I'll just invite Google to come get my dna, set up cameras everywhere, and install a microchip in my brain. Then I can be done with this slow-walk of privacy invasion.

Yet the simps still won’t use Firefox

Well that's what to expect from a web browser created by an advertising company.

And yet Firefox marketshare will keep dwindling. Drives me mad!

Let me get this straight:

Until now, Google and other advertisers stored cookies on your device and tracked your browsing history on their servers.

Know, everything happens locally and this is somewhat worse then the old way to do it?

How?

In Chrome, start at the three dots in the upper-right corner and go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Ad privacy. (Or just type chrome://settings/adPrivacy into your address field.) The ad privacy page lets you turn off Chrome's targeted ads.

As per The Verge

A few years ago, I switched from Firefox to Chrome. A few months ago, I switched back to Firefox. Chrome is rolling out changes which are completely unacceptable, such as making adblockers impossible, and using my private browsing history for their own ads.

Not my browser history. I use private browsing... and Firefox!

I figured they did this already just without saying it out loud

I'm glad I stopped using chrome / chromium a long time ago.

Who knew that using a browser made by an ad agency would result in ads?!

Everyone talks about Firefox. And that's cause Firefox is good and hands down the best. But I've been using Vivaldi which is chromium based for years. Anyone have any opinion on Vivaldi?

Pihole goes brrrrrrrrrr.

Damn advertisers are finally gonna realize how fucking lonely I am is keeping me from being a better consumer and has me resenting capitalism and they'll work to change my sad life, right? Privatize the profits, socialize the losses, isolate the losers. Got it.

It should always be opt in, not opt out. Leave chrome in favor of a non-chrome browser, such as firefox.
