Why the fuck are you still using Google Chrome?
Yet another reason I continue to use brave.
>+1 BAT
Entire point of Brave is on-device behavioral tracking for advertising though?
No
Sadly, Brave browser also has built-in telemetry that can't be disabled. It is rated high in spyware which is funny considering Brave considers itself a "privacy" browser.
You should buy an ad, Pedro. Your blog is shit; nobody cares about it here.
Jannies, he’s ban evading again.
The schizo who wrote all those articles trooned out and now runs an outdated version of Slackware as his daily driver. I don't care about his ramblings if he won't even dump his mitmproxy logs somewhere.
The number of people that are outright lying about how this works is even higher than with manifestv3. This is a very very good thing because it's legally required for them to disable third-party cookies but you can just disable it in settings and it won't break anything unlike the cookies until websites get their shit together. Also even when your grandma leaves it enabled, it's not like the API just dumps your browsing history on any site that asks. It can only answer yes/no questions about specific topics that the given origin has actually seen you interact with. The only way to get better privacy than this is with container tabs (normalfags will NEVER be able to into these) or by clearing everything on browser close (again, non-starter when you have billions of midwit and stupid users)

I can see your nose through the screen
No you illiterate retard. Come Q2 2024, chrome will be the ONLY browser where you have the option of having certain browser settings that make it IMPOSSIBLE to be tracked by third parties. You can literally just turn off the entire topics API. It's not a group policy or flag, it's a toggle in the settings. Enjoy your Pixar ads.

Just disable third party cookies?
stop living in 2011
This. Post about something important like the shitty UI refresh.
the only right answer
google is protecting your data from others so they have a monopoly on data harvesting.
>ad topics
This is completely fucking useless for advertisers. Nobody will fucking use this, they will all try and devise more ways of tracking because it's so fucking useless.
What does an advertiser get? Sports. News. That's literally it, it's completely fucking worthless to them.
Advertisers are mainly interested in your sex and age. Which gl getting since I'm always blocking google analytics.
>more choice over the ads you see
>it thinks I see ads
*laughs in librewolf*
yeah I'm laughing at you unironically using pajeetware
It's a fork of FireFox maintained by Scandinavians.
By default it has ublock installed (which blocks analytics alongside other good shit), it deletes everything upon closing and has a lot of hardened stuff baked in, like fingerprint resistance.
Sounds like they're moving tracking your browsing history off their servers and just having you store it locally and report yourself what your profile is, which is probably better.
>Control over the ads you see
I will take a no ads experience
Here's a nice concise explanation of "Topics": https://youtu.be/4AuaxbLSfKg?si=4BxQOIKoIZ9KbsR5&t=3873
I'm using ungoogled chromium, how fucked am I?
>sell more tracking as a privacy feature
i see, they learned from the EU, who sell the Digital Service Act and censorship as "privacy and safety".
I see a lot of comments online about how the topics are so general, and that makes this shit acceptable. I'm assuming these people are paid shills because the topics will expand in time and become more and more specific.
Google are selling this as a replacement for cookies, and are talking about disabling cookies altogether in 2024. What will happen is that cookies will remain and live side by side with "Topics". More tracking. More ads.
>kills user agent so sites can't differentiate third party browsers anymore

I KNEEL
They won't need it any more when WEI is telling the website exactly what your browser and operating system are in a way you can't spoof.
The only reason that I use Ungoogled Chromium is that it has scaletempo2 for tempo and pitch normalization when I watch courses and shit I can't decrypt without an L3-L1 key that I lack and cba to figure out how to get the video as well.
