Google Chrome and "Enhanced Ad Privacy".

That won't destroy their community.

edit: Because people who use chrome, doesn't care about privacy, freedom or anything like that.

Not because it's good, but because it's Google marketing it as a privacy "enhancement"

It is not, it is simply another way to frame privacy violation from Google as some sort of good thing, and I believe as more techy people it is somewhat our duty to inform others about this.

Like when Google and Facebook remind you to take a "privacy checkup" which is bullshit and does nothing for your actual privacy from them.

[–] rush@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Their "privacy checkup" is pretty much equal to "can you give us your phone number so we can more closely link it to your identity please? 👉👈"

It got me off Chrome, at long last.
