Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.
arstechnica.com
Google in an effort to "improve privacy" will now include in Chrome a platform that tracks users to present top topics of interest to advertisers when you visit other sites. Gee, thanks Google.
Note in the article where you can turn it off in privacy and security settings (next to last paragraph in the article). My phone showed me the permissions page for this a couple days ago. I've stopped using chrome except on my Android phone for some time. Even on the phone I use Firefox quite a bit. In any case you might want to turn off some of this tracking or switch browsers. A feature no one wanted, but you are getting it anyway. Enshitification continues at Google.
