Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Got this today, I have to use chrome for a couple things every month, and they conveniently turned on all their tracking and ads and bullshit. Had to turn all that crap off again. Not that they'd glean any useful information from my paltry chrome usage, but it still pisses me off.
Try Ungoogled Chromium!
Better yet, firefox
Doesn't help if they absolutely need to access something that "requires" Chromium. Which from their comment seems to be the case.
Unless you want to mess with user agent switcher but even that doesn't always work if it's relying on Chromium's nonstandard APIs, or if they fingerprint your browser and use that to block non-Chromium clients (which some websites actually do for some asinine reason).
Yeah I know, I'm just pushing.
Even better, LibreWolf
