   Do you like it when browsers share any function of your browsing history with every random website you visit to target Ads? Well, get ready, Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/06/google_privacy_popup_chrome/ #privacy #security

     @nixCraft Not surprising, and I expect most browsers do (or will do) the same. But I don't use Chrome since Google's digital gangster attack on Canadian sovereignty and won't use them until they stop the extortion. Ditto with Meta (FB and Threads).

     @nixCraft I am constantly disgusted by Apple, and to some degree also by Mozilla. Then look around what goes on in the rest of the "industry", and keep using Macs and Firefox.

     (I do not have a long enough life to keep spending it on trying to get a Linux desktop functional enough. Then do it again, when some upgrade inevitably breaks it.)

     @nixCraft It was inevitable that a browser developed by a company with a business model consisting almost entirely of advertising revenue would do this, but when you dangle shiny new software in front of most users, they don't spend much time thinking about the deeper ramifications.

     You can't keep dancing with the devil and ask why you're still in hell.
